What is a 2000-D New Hampshire Quarter worth?
Worn examples are worth face value and can be spent. Keep it only if it looks uncirculated or shows a known variety.
What would make yours worth more:
- Uncirculated condition with full original luster
- A die variety or minting error
For market prices, check recent sold results for certified coins in the same grade.
Quick answers
- Is the 2000-D New Hampshire Quarter rare?
- No. With 496 million made, it's one of the most common 50 State Quarters.
- Is the 2000-D New Hampshire Quarter silver?
- No. It's copper core clad in 75% copper / 25% nickel. Quarters dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver.
- Where is the mint mark on a 2000 50 State Quarter?
- On the obverse, to the right of Washington's ponytail (P, D or S). On this coin the mark is D, for Denver.
- How many 2000-D New Hampshire Quarter coins were made?
- 495,976,000.
What to check on your 2000-D
- Make sure the mint mark really is a D. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2000-P (673 million made).
- Proof or circulation strike? A proof has mirror-like fields and frosted design details and was sold to collectors, not released in change. The 2000-S New Hampshire Quarter Proof (4,020,172 made) is the one to compare with.
- A face that's fully copper colored could be a missing clad layer error. Patchy discoloration is usually damage.
- Judge the grade under good light. State quarters are judged mainly on luster and contact marks. Look for die varieties and errors, which carry the real premiums in this series.
With 496 million made, the 2000-D still turns up in everyday change. Keep yours only if it looks uncirculated or shows a variety; otherwise it's worth face value.
The story of the 2000-D New Hampshire
Denver made 495,976,000 of the New Hampshire quarter. That was the smallest Denver run of the 5 designs issued in 2000, so it's the one from that year you're least likely to find in change.
Philadelphia struck more of the same design, 673 million, so the 2000-D is the scarcer of the pair by about 26 percent.
Across the whole program it sits 44th of 50 Denver designs by mintage, where the scarcest is Oklahoma at 195 million.
Elsewhere in US coinage in 2000
The golden Sacagawea dollar was introduced, made of manganese brass over copper.
How to recognize it
The New Hampshire design
The granite profile known as the Old Man of the Mountain dominates this reverse, labeled OLD MAN OF THE MOUNTAIN along with the state motto LIVE FREE OR DIE. Nine stars around the design mark New Hampshire as the ninth state to ratify the Constitution in 1788, the vote that put it into effect. The natural rock formation in Franconia Notch had long been a state emblem. It collapsed in May 2003, a few years after the coin was released as the fourth State quarter of 2000.
The 50 State Quarter design
To make room for each state design, the obverse was rearranged: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and QUARTER DOLLAR all moved to the side with Washington's portrait. The reverse shows the state's design with its name, the year it joined the Union or ratified the Constitution, the year of issue and E PLURIBUS UNUM. The mint mark is to the right of Washington's ponytail.
