2009 Guam Quarter
The 2009 Guam Quarter is the third coin produced by the DCUT program. It was released to the public on May 26, 2009, and was sold in rolls and bags. These coins were extremely well-struck, with a MS67 grade being considered to be rare. This is a level at which an extremely rare coin can be worth thousands of dollars. This article will provide detailed information on the different types of the coin and how to find them.
The value of a 2009 Guam Quarter depends on several factors, including the coin’s grade, whether it is a proof coin or an uncirculated coin, and the type of metal it’s made of. Also, whether or not it is silver or gold, as well as its scarcity, can increase or decrease its value. Coins are graded in numismatics using a point-scale ranging from poor to perfect, and from ONE to 70. Coins can be graded as MS or Proof based on the condition they are in.
Proof coins are rare coins that are struck in a special process to ensure the highest quality. The US Mint strikes proof coins several times, to ensure that the designs are as accurate as possible. These coins bear the “S” mint mark for San Francisco and are sealed in protective lenses. A certificate of authenticity is included with each proof coin. However, there are certain requirements for buying proof coins. Those who wish to acquire proof coins should purchase one or more.
Besides the design of the 2009 GUAM quarter, the coin also features interesting information about the island. Its reverse includes the names of notable natives and their numbers. It opens to a colorful tri-fold card that reveals the five-inch-by-15-inch coin. Its design was created by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Phebe Hemphill. A colorful tri-fold card with informative facts about the island’s history, culture, and people can be found inside.
The reverse side of the Guam quarter features an outline of the island, with two symbols that symbolize the island: a sailing vessel known as the “Flying Proa,” and a stone pillar called the “Latte.” These ancient ruins were used for the foundations of ancient houses. The inscriptions in both sides of the coin have the names of the people and places that are associated with them. The coin is available in three different sizes and a number of colors.
