Historical Significance
The Wyoming quarter honors the 44th state, admitted to the Union on July 10, 1890, and was released into circulation on September 4, 2007. Its minimalist reverse design spotlights the bucking horse and rider—long used as a state symbol and license-plate motif—capturing Wyoming’s Wild West ranching and rodeo heritage.
The motto “The Equality State” references Wyoming’s pioneering role in women’s suffrage: it was the first U.S. territory (and later state) to grant women full voting rights and to elect a female governor, making equality a central part of its identity.
Collectibility
With a mintage of just over 243 million, the 2007-P Wyoming State Quarter is a required but accessible issue for complete 50 State Quarters sets. Collectors often target bright, Uncirculated pieces where the horse-and-rider silhouette and lettering are crisp, since the large open fields can show marks easily. Error specialists also seek out dramatic die chips and breaks, including the popular “pooping horse” die-chip variety, as well as off-center strikes and cuds that bring solid premiums over face value.
