Maine State Quarter: History & Background

The Maine quarter depicts Pemaquid Point Light perched on the rocky coastline with a two-masted schooner sailing at sea. Built in 1835, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse is one of Maine's most iconic landmarks and was commissioned by President John Quincy Adams. The rugged granite coast and maritime scene capture the essence of Maine's dramatic Atlantic shoreline.

How to Grade a Maine 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 →
