The 2023 quarters are part of the American Women Quarters Program, launched by the U.S. Mint to honor the accomplishments and contributions of notable American women . This program, running from 2022 to 2025, replaced the previous “America the Beautiful” series.
The 2023 quarters feature a common obverse (front) design depicting George Washington, based on a design by Laura Gardin Fraser. The reverse (back) of the coins showcases five different designs, each honoring a different woman:
- Bessie Coleman: The first African American and Native American woman to hold a pilot’s license.
- Jovita Idar: A Mexican-American journalist and activist who advocated for Mexican American and immigrant rights, as well as a prominent suffragist.
- Edith Kanakaʻole: A Hawaiian composer, chanter, and teacher who played a significant role in preserving Hawaiian culture and language.
- Eleanor Roosevelt: Former First Lady of the United States, known for her advocacy for human rights and for redefining the role of First Lady.
- Maria Tallchief: A Native American ballerina, considered the first major prima ballerina of the United States.
The face value of the 2023 quarter is 25 cents. However, some coins with errors can be worth significantly more to collectors. Here are some notable errors and their potential value:
- [2023-P Bessie Coleman Quarter – Die Chip on Wing]: A small blob of metal appears on the airplane’s right wing on some Philadelphia (P) mint quarters. These can be worth $20 or more.
- [2023-D Maria Tallchief Quarter – Feather Error]: A die chip error on some Denver (D) mint quarters results in an extra “feather” appearing on Tallchief’s headdress.
- [2023-P Edith Kanakaʻole Quarter – Major Clashed Die]: The clash of dies during minting resulted in the name “EDITH” being imprinted on both the reverse and the obverse (George Washington’s profile) of some Philadelphia (P) mint quarters. These are considered quite rare and valuable, potentially reaching values over $100.
- 2023-D Jovita Idar Quarter – Die Crack: Some Denver (D) mint Jovita Idar quarters have die cracks, which appear as raised lines across the coin, potentially increasing their value.
