Historical Significance
Idaho’s quarter design features Shoshone Falls, often called the “Niagara of the West,” symbolizing the state’s dramatic natural landscapes and water resources. The peregrine falcon represents wildlife conservation and Idaho’s commitment to preserving its diverse ecosystems. The Latin motto “Esto Perpetua,” meaning “Let it be perpetual,” reflects the enduring strength and independence of the state.
Collectibility
The 2007-D Idaho State Quarter is an essential issue for collectors completing Denver Mint sets of the 50 State Quarters Program. While readily available in circulated condition, uncirculated examples with strong detail and original mint luster are popular for album and registry-style collections.
