Mississippi State Quarter: History & Background
The Mississippi quarter features two magnolia blossoms, the state flower, in a clean and elegant design. The inscription 'The Magnolia State' reinforces the state's nickname. Mississippi was the 20th state admitted to the Union in 1817 and is named after the great Mississippi River, which forms its western border and has been central to American commerce and culture.
How to Grade a Mississippi 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 →
