Guam Territory Quarter: History & Background
The Guam quarter features an outline of the island, a latte stone (ancient Chamorro stone pillar), a flying proa (traditional sailing canoe), and the inscription 'Guahan I Tano' ManChamworru' (Guam — Land of the Chamorro). Guam, the largest island in Micronesia, has been a U.S. territory since 1898 and played a significant role in the Pacific Theater of World War II.
How to Grade a Guam 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 →
