The US Mint did not start minting quarter dollars until 1796.
In the year 2000, the value of the quarter dollar which is 25 cents was $0.25.
1788 is the year Maryland became a state, and 2000 is the year the quarter was minted. It's worth exactly 25 cents.
The Maryland State Quarter looks like a tower surrounded by two bent and leaning trees with the year 2000 under it.
25 cents
Only state quarters were minted in 2000.
If the quarter has a picture of George Washington on one side, with the Maryland state capital and phrase "The Old Line State" on the other, then it's a 2000 state quarter, worth exactly 25 cents.
American quarters have only been struck in 90% silver (up till 1964) and copper-nickel clad metal (1965-present). Canadian quarters have been struck in a 94% steel alloy since 2000. Circulation issues are only worth face value.
The old line state quarter refers to the Maryland state quarter, which was released in 2000 as part of the U.S. Mint's 50 State Quarters Program. The design features the state flag of Maryland, showcasing its distinctive black and gold Calvert and red and white Crossland patterns. The quarter honors Maryland's heritage and history, reflecting its unique cultural identity. The phrase "The Old Line State" is also inscribed, referring to Maryland's nickname, which is believed to have originated from the state's military regiments during the American Revolutionary War.
All of the "State Quarters" found in change are only face value.
Not gold, and not proof. All proof coins dated 2000 were minted in San Francisco, and the US never struck gold quarters. You almost certainly have a normal Philadelphia quarter that's been plated with a thin layer of gold. The plating makes it an altered coin with no added value.
The one that I am aware of was certified MS65 and sold at auction in 2000 for $47,500.
