West Virginia State Quarter: History & Background
The West Virginia quarter depicts the New River Gorge Bridge, one of the longest steel arch bridges in the world, spanning 3,030 feet across the New River Gorge near Fayetteville. The bridge stands 876 feet above the river and was completed in 1977. Every October, 'Bridge Day' allows BASE jumpers and rappellers to descend from the bridge in one of the largest extreme sports events in the world.
How to Grade a West Virginia 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 →
