South Carolina State Quarter: History & Background
The South Carolina quarter features the state's outline with the Carolina wren (state bird), the yellow jessamine (state flower), and a palmetto tree, a symbol deeply tied to the state's Revolutionary War history. The palmetto log fort on Sullivan's Island famously repelled a British naval attack in 1776. The inscription 'The Palmetto State' appears on the design.
How to Grade a South Carolina 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 →
