- 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.
Proofs from 2007 come with and without frosted devices. Coins with strong contrast are labeled Cameo or Deep Cameo and are worth more.
The story of the 2007-S Montana

How to recognize it
The Montana design
A bison skull is set above a landscape of mountains and a river, with the nickname BIG SKY COUNTRY. The skull is a familiar emblem in Montana, reflecting the importance of the bison to the Plains Indian nations. The nickname refers to the wide, open skies over the state's prairies and ranges. Montana became the forty-first state in 1889, the year on the coin. It was the first State quarter released in 2007.
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.
