Pennsylvania State Quarter: History & Background
The Pennsylvania quarter features the statue 'Commonwealth' that stands atop the state capitol dome in Harrisburg, flanked by an outline of the state and the state motto 'Virtue, Liberty, Independence.' A keystone, Pennsylvania's traditional nickname symbol, also appears on the design. Pennsylvania was the second state to ratify the Constitution in 1787.
How to Grade a Pennsylvania 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 →
