Americans are collecting pocket change again, and the coins that they are collecting most are the new state quarters. It all began when the U.S. Mint issued the Delaware coin in 1999. New coins will be issued every ten weeks, culminating with Hawaii's in 2008. The Mint's promotional efforts for the program are unprecedented and interest has already moved beyond the core numismatic market.Fully illustrated and authoritative, The Official Guidebook to America's State Quarters features photographs of all the state quarters that have been issued to the time of publication, along with the preliminary drawings for many other coins in the series. It also contains charts showing projected values and previously unpublished information for collectors and how to participate in the design of future coins.The state quarters have awakened America's numismatic curiosity, and this is the book that tells their story from conception to future collectibility.
