What to check on your 2015-S
- Make sure the mint mark really is an S. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2015-D (380 million made).
- Judge the grade under good light. Look for luster and freedom from bag marks. "W" quarters in circulation are worth a premium even in average condition.
Proofs from 2015 come with and without frosted devices. Coins with strong contrast are labeled Cameo or Deep Cameo and are worth more.
How to recognize it
The Kisatchie design
A wild turkey in flight over bluestem grass, with longleaf pines in the background, represents Louisiana's Kisatchie National Forest on the second 2015 quarter. Kisatchie is the only national forest in Louisiana. Its upland pine forests, hardwood bottomlands and sandstone outcrops support a wide range of wildlife. Longleaf pine forests once covered much of the region. Susan Gamble designed the reverse and Joseph Menna sculpted it.
The America the Beautiful Quarter design
Each reverse shows a national park or other national site, one for every state, the District of Columbia and five territories, with the site's name, its state and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Five designs were issued each year from 2010 to 2020, followed by a final design for the Tuskegee Airmen in 2021. The obverse uses a restored, more detailed version of Flanagan's original Washington portrait.
