What is a 2004-D Florida Quarter worth?
In circulated condition it's worth face value. Only uncirculated coins with full original luster, or a recognized variety, carry a premium. The exception is the 2004-D Wisconsin Extra Leaf Quarter, which collectors pay a large premium for.
What would make yours worth more:
- Uncirculated condition with full original luster
- A known variety for the date: 2004-D Wisconsin Extra Leaf Quarter
For market prices, check recent sold results for certified coins in the same grade.
Quick answers
- Is the 2004-D Florida Quarter rare?
- No. 242 million were made, a typical run for the series. Condition and varieties decide its value, not the date.
- Is the 2004-D Florida 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 2004 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 2004-D Florida Quarter coins were made?
- 241,600,000.
What to check on your 2004-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 2004-P (240 million made).
- Look for the 2004-D Wisconsin Extra Leaf Quarter.
- Proof or circulation strike? A proof has mirror-like fields and frosted design details and was sold to collectors, not released in change. The 2004-S Florida Quarter Proof (2,740,684 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 242 million made, the 2004-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 2004-D Florida
Denver made 241,600,000 of the Florida quarter. Among the 5 designs of 2004 it was the middle Denver run, between Wisconsin (227 million) and Iowa (251 million).
Philadelphia struck a similar number of the same design (240 million), so neither mint's version is much harder to find.
Across the whole program it sits 9th of 50 Denver designs by mintage, where the scarcest is Oklahoma at 195 million.
Elsewhere in US coinage in 2004
The Westward Journey nickels began, marking the bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition.
How to recognize it
The Florida design
A Spanish galleon and a space shuttle sit on either side of this design, linked by a strip of land with sabal palm trees and the words GATEWAY TO DISCOVERY. The galleon recalls the Spanish explorers who reached Florida in the 1500s. The shuttle represents the launches from Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. Florida became the twenty-seventh state in 1845, the year shown on the coin. Its quarter was the second release of 2004.
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.
