Anna May Wong Quarter: History & Background
The Anna May Wong Quarter honors the first Chinese American Hollywood film star, making her the first Asian American to appear on US circulating coinage. The reverse features Wong in a classic 1930s glamour portrait with her name prominently displayed in lights above. Born in Los Angeles in 1905, Wong appeared in over 60 films during a career spanning silent films to early television, breaking barriers in an era of significant anti-Asian discrimination in the entertainment industry.
How to Grade a Anna May Wong 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 →
