US Virgin Islands Territory Quarter: History & Background
The US Virgin Islands quarter features an outline of the three main islands — Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Saint Croix — along with a yellow cedar tree (the territorial tree), a banana plant, and a tananager bird. The inscription 'United in Pride and Hope' is the territorial motto. Purchased from Denmark in 1917, the islands are a popular Caribbean tourist destination with rich Danish colonial architecture.
How to Grade a US Virgin Islands Territory 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 →
