.What is a 2024 quarter? It’s a U.S. 25‑cent coin issued under the American Women Quarters Program. Each one features the common obverse design by Laura Gardin Fraser, portraying George Washington with inscriptions such as "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the year "2024."
The reverse side celebrates five influential American women:
Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray, depicted within the word "HOPE" with the phrase “A Song in a Weary Throat”—a line from her poem Dark Testament.
Patsy Takemoto Mink, shown holding her landmark Title IX legislation in front of the U.S. Capitol, wearing a Hawaiian lei.
Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, a Civil War-era surgeon and Medal of Honor recipient.
Celia Cruz, celebrated Afro‑Latina singer, depicted mid-performance with her signature phrase "¡AZÚCAR!"
Zitkala‑Ša, a Native American writer and activist, shown in traditional Sioux dress holding a book topped with a sun symbol and cardinal—symbols reflecting her cultural contributions.
These quarters, part of a series running from 2022 to 2025, spotlight twenty remarkable women across American history, with five unique reverse designs issued each year.

Mint Marks Explained
The mint mark on a 2024 quarter is a small letter indicating which U.S. Mint facility produced the coin. You’ll find it on the obverse.
For 2024 American Women Quarters, there are three possible mint marks:
P — Philadelphia Mint, the primary production facility for circulation coins in the eastern U.S.
D — Denver Mint, producing circulation coins mainly for the western U.S.
S — San Francisco Mint, which strikes proof coins and some collector-only issues (including clad and silver proofs).
Circulating 2024 quarters with a P or D are common and found in pocket change, while S mint mark coins are usually not released into general circulation—they’re sold directly to collectors through U.S. Mint sets. Some collectors seek a “mint mark set,” owning all three versions for each design in the program.

Lower grades of the 2024 quarters are traded around or just above face value.
Proof coins—especially those graded PF70—are significantly more valuable, sometimes exceeding $27.
High-grade collector coins like MS69 or MS70 represent the top premium tiers, reaching prices in the $1,300–$1,600 range.
Error coins remain a niche but intriguing category—like the “Washington’s eye” variety currently trading around $65.
Design-specific variation, such as the Zitkala-Ša proof, commands strong collector interest and value (~$220).
Disclaimer: These estimated values are based on documented sales, catalog guides (PriceCharting, Greysheet), and recent auction activity—they reflect current market trends but may fluctuate over time.
Errors to Look for
For the 2024 quarters, a few error types have already caught collectors’ attention, and while it’s still early in the release year, these varieties are creating buzz because they’re tied to the limited-mintage commemorative designs.
One of the most talked-about finds is the “Washington’s Eye” error on the Pauli Murray quarter. On some coins, extra metal or an unusual strike gives the appearance of a doubled or distorted eye on George Washington’s portrait. These have sold for around $65 in circulated condition, though the rarity hasn’t been firmly established, meaning prices could shift quickly as more are discovered.
Collectors also report die chips and cuds on some 2024 designs, where small breaks in the die leave raised blobs of metal—often on the lettering or fine details of the honoree’s portrait.
Another expected but less dramatic category is minor die cracks, which appear as thin raised lines across the coin’s surface. While small cracks add minimal value, dramatic ones crossing the face or inscriptions can attract premiums from variety hunters.
As with all modern coin errors, authenticated examples certified by PCGS or NGC tend to fetch higher prices.
Collectibility
The 2024 quarters already have strong collectibility potential because they combine several traits that appeal to both casual finders and serious numismatists. Being part of the American Women Quarters Program, they feature unique, one-year-only reverse designs—meaning once production ends, these exact designs will never be struck again for circulation. That built-in scarcity boosts long-term interest, especially for complete set builders who want every design and mint mark.
High-grade examples from circulation are worth saving, but the most collectible pieces tend to be proofs (especially silver proofs) and coins graded MS67 or higher. Error varieties like the “Washington’s Eye” also enhance collectibility, since they’re tied to specific designs and have a finite supply.
Because the series ends in 2025, collectors are motivated to gather each year’s releases while they’re fresh in the market. This means demand for 2024 issues—particularly from the San Francisco Mint and in certified top grades—is likely to remain steady and could grow over the next decade, especially if mintage figures turn out lower than expected.
