First State Quarters Of The United States Collector's Map (1999-2008)

This item is a "First State Quarters Of The United States Collector's Map" designed for housing the U.S. State Quarters issued between 1999 and 2008. The map is a large, fold-out display, likely made of sturdy cardstock or heavy paper, with a laminated or glossy finish to protect the surface. Its overall dimensions are substantial, spanning wide when fully opened, suitable for displaying numerous coins. The color scheme is predominantly a golden tan background, with the map of the United States rendered in various bold, contrasting colors for different regions or states, creating a visually engaging layout. Each state outline contains a precisely cut circular indentation, designed to securely hold a U.S. State Quarter. Some of these slots are currently empty, appearing as black circles, while many others are filled with actual State Quarters from the series. The coins visible appear to be standard circulation State Quarters, exhibiting typical wear consistent with circulated coinage, though specific condition details for individual coins are not discernible from the image. The text 'First State Quarters Of The United States Collector's Map' is prominently displayed at the top, along with the years '1999 - 2008'. A legend or list of states, likely indicating the quarters produced each year, is visible on the left side. The corners and edges of the map show some signs of handling and slight wear, consistent with a collectible item that has been opened and filled over time, but no significant damage or tearing is apparent. The craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, mass-produced for the hobby market, with clear printing and accurate die-cut coin slots. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures, which is common for this type of standardized collector's accessory. This item dates specifically to the period of the State Quarter program, placing its estimated age within the late 1990s to early 2000s.
