Connecticut State Quarter: History & Background
The Connecticut quarter depicts the Charter Oak, a large white oak tree in Hartford that, according to legend, served as a hiding place for the Connecticut colony's royal charter in 1687 when England's Governor Andros demanded its surrender. The historic tree stood until 1856 when it was felled by a storm. The Charter Oak remains one of Connecticut's most cherished symbols.
How to Grade a Connecticut 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 →
