About this Product
 
The Florida State Quarter was the second State Quarter to be issued in 2004. Florida was the 27th state to join the Union, so the Florida State Quarter was the 27th coin in the series. The Florida State Quarter symbolizes nearly 500 years of history and discovery, from Spanish galleons that brought explorers to Florida in the 16th century to the Space Shuttles that are launched from the Kennedy Space Center in the 21st century. In addition to the galleon and Space Shuttle, the Florida State Quarter also depicts a pair of sabal palmetto palm trees, the official state tree.

Each uncirculated quarter is layered 7 times in pure platinum. Each coin is encapsulated to protect it's condition.

In December 1997, America's most adventurous coin program became a reality when President Clinton signed legislation authorizing the U.S. Mint to issue the innovative 50 State Quarters collection. Starting in January 1999, each of the 50 states in the Union will be honored on a unique Quarter Dollar commemorative coin. Five states will be featured each year, based on the order in which they ratified the Constitution or became states. Due to the aggressive minting schedule, each State Quarter will be minted for only about 10 weeks. As a result, mintages of each quarter only are to be just a fraction of the "normal" quarters are. Regular issue coins will be minted at both the Philadelphia and the Denver Mints. The mint marks can be found to the right of George Washington's portrait on the obverse: the small "P" indicates the Philadelphia Mint and the small "D" refers to the Denver.
