Arizona State Quarter: History & Background
The Arizona quarter depicts the Grand Canyon with a saguaro cactus in the foreground and the banner 'Grand Canyon State.' The Grand Canyon, carved by the Colorado River over millions of years, stretches 277 miles long and up to a mile deep. The saguaro cactus, which can grow over 40 feet tall and live 200 years, is an icon of the Sonoran Desert landscape.
How to Grade a Arizona State 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 →
