Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
This is a 2002-S ICG-graded Gem Proof Ohio state quarter. The reverse design features the Wright brothers and an airplane, commemorating Ohio as the 'Birthplace of Aviation Pioneers'. The coin's mint mark 'S' indicates it was struck at the San Francisco Mint. This proof coin showcases exceptional detail and mirror-like surfaces.
History
The 2002 Ohio quarter is part of the 50 State Quarters program, which ran from 1999 to 2008. Each quarter featured a unique design representing the history, achievements, or symbols of its respective state. The design for Ohio honors the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, whose pioneering work in aviation began in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, but they hailed from Dayton, Ohio.
Facts
The 'S' mint mark signifies this coin was minted as a proof coin, intended for collectors rather than circulation. Proof coins are struck multiple times with specially polished dies to produce a high-quality finish with sharp details and frosted design elements against mirrored fields. The "Gem Proof" grade by ICG indicates a superior quality proof strike.
Value Fact
Graded proof state quarters, especially those with desirable designs and in high grades like Gem Proof, are popular with collectors. The 2002-S Ohio quarter typically commands a modest premium over its face value, with prices varying based on the grading service and specific grade. Demand remains steady among those completing their state quarter sets.
