If you liked the State Quarters get ready for the territorial quarters....
In 2009, the United States Mint will mint and issue six quarter-dollar coins in honor of the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories: the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. These coins will be issued in equal sequential intervals in 2009 in the order listed.
District of Columbia
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
Guam
American Samoa
The U.S. Virgin Islands
The Northern Mariana Islands
The image of George Washington as seen on the obverse of the 50 State Quarters® coins will remain unchanged. The reverse of each quarter will be distinctly different with images emblematic of the District of Columbia and each of the territories.
Public Law required the Secretary of the Treasury to approve each reverse design after consulting with the chief executive of the District of Columbia or the territory being honored and the Commission of Fine Arts, and after review by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. The Design Evaluation and Selection Process provides details on the steps the Secretary and the United States Mint took to develop and approve the reverse designs in this 2009 series.
These coins will be issued for circulation
in quantities to meet the needs of the United States—both for commerce and for collectors. In addition, the Secretary has the authority to mint and issue uncirculated and proof coins, as well as a 90 percent silver version of each coin. These numismatic versions will be included in the United States Mint’s annual product offerings.

Missing the '99? I lucked out and have been getting all of mine every since they started from the Mint. I got mine for cost. The '01 is second most valuable I think.

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams |

| Yeah, I want the 99, but won't front the cash for it. One day maybe. Hopefully the 09 will rise instead of sink like the rest of the years. |

I can see it now. There will be reports of Americans finding and rejecting "imported" coins from Guam, Samoa and some place they never heard of called The Northern Mariana Islands. Watch the fun begin.

I will probably go ahead and get one each of the UNC P territorials. My son collected the Ps and there are 10 slots left in his Dansco album.
We'll probably do the Ps for the national parks series, too. They're cheap n'fun. Buying the album is the biggest expense.  |
