Historical Note
The U.S. Mint released the Maine quarter on June 2, 2003, continuing the series’ statehood-order format (Maine entered the Union on March 15, 1820). The design highlights Maine’s maritime identity, pairing Pemaquid Point Light with a schooner resembling Victory Chimes.
Collectibility
Philadelphia struck 217,400,000 coins, so it’s a straightforward pick for date/mint albums and roll hunting—while top-end grades are much tougher. A popular minor variety is the “In Cod We Trust” die-chip error seen on some examples.
