Tennessee State Quarter: History & Background
The Tennessee quarter features musical instruments — a fiddle, a trumpet, and a guitar — representing the three distinct styles of music born in Tennessee: Appalachian folk from the east, blues from Memphis in the west, and country from Nashville in the middle. A banner reads 'Musical Heritage,' and three stars symbolize the three Grand Divisions of the state.
How to Grade a Tennessee 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 →
