Colorado State Quarter: History & Background
The Colorado quarter features the sweeping Rocky Mountain landscape with Longs Peak prominently displayed, evergreen trees in the foreground, and a banner reading 'Colorful Colorado.' Longs Peak, standing at 14,259 feet, is one of Colorado's 54 'fourteeners' and a centerpiece of Rocky Mountain National Park. The design captures the majestic alpine scenery that defines the state.
How to Grade a Colorado 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 →
