American Samoa Territory Quarter: History & Background
The American Samoa quarter depicts an ava bowl, a whisk, and a staff — traditional Samoan symbols of authority and ceremony — in the foreground, with a coconut palm tree and the ocean in the background. The inscription 'Samoa Muamua le Atua' (Samoa, God is First) appears on the coin. American Samoa, located in the South Pacific, is the southernmost territory of the United States.
How to Grade a American Samoa Territory Quarter
Accurate grading is the single most important factor in determining a coin's value. A difference of just a few grade points can mean 10× or more in value. Examine the highest points of the design first — these are where wear appears earliest. For the finest grades, luster, strike quality, and surface preservation all matter. Professional grading by PCGS or NGC adds certainty and typically increases resale value. Read our complete grading guide →
