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 2001-D New York Quarter rare?
- No. With 620 million made, it's one of the most common 50 State Quarters.
- Is the 2001-D New York 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 2001 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 2001-D New York Quarter coins were made?
- 619,640,000.
What to check on your 2001-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 2001-P (655 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 2001-S New York Quarter Proof (3,094,140 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 620 million made, the 2001-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 2001-D New York
Denver made 619,640,000 of the New York quarter. That was the biggest Denver run of the 5 designs issued in 2001; Kentucky had the smallest at 371 million.
Philadelphia struck a similar number of the same design (655 million), so neither mint's version is much harder to find.
Across the whole program it's one of the most plentiful Denver designs.
More on the 2001-D
New York opened the 2001 state quarters. Denver struck 619,640,000 of them against 655,400,000 at Philadelphia. Those are the two largest figures of the 2001 designs, well above North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont and Kentucky, which all came in below 460 million at Denver.
The reverse places the Statue of Liberty over an outline of the state, with a line tracing the Hudson River and the route of the Erie Canal, the words GATEWAY TO FREEDOM and eleven stars for New York's place as the eleventh state to ratify the Constitution. With so many made, a worn 2001-D New York is a face value coin. Collectors look for sharp uncirculated pieces with clean surfaces on the statue. Check the D beside Washington's ponytail to confirm the mint.
How to recognize it
The New York design
The Statue of Liberty stands over an outline of the state, with eleven stars and the inscription GATEWAY TO FREEDOM. A line traces the route of the Hudson River and the Erie Canal across the map. The statue welcomed millions of immigrants arriving in New York Harbor, while the canal opened a trade route to the Great Lakes and the West. The eleven stars mark New York as the eleventh state to ratify the Constitution in 1788. This was the first State quarter of 2001.
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.
