New Jersey State Quarter: History & Background
The New Jersey quarter recreates Emanuel Leutze's famous painting 'Washington Crossing the Delaware,' depicting General George Washington and his troops crossing the icy Delaware River on December 25, 1776. The surprise attack on Hessian forces at Trenton was a turning point in the Revolutionary War. The design captures the dramatic scene of soldiers navigating ice-filled waters.
How to Grade a New Jersey 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 →
