Oregon State Quarter: History & Background
The Oregon quarter depicts Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the United States at 1,943 feet. The design shows Wizard Island rising from the volcanic caldera lake, surrounded by conifer trees. Crater Lake was formed approximately 7,700 years ago when Mount Mazama erupted and collapsed. The lake is fed entirely by rain and snowmelt, giving it remarkably clear and intensely blue water.
How to Grade a Oregon 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 →
