South Dakota Quarter Appraisal

2013 Mount Rushmore National Memorial Quarter (South Dakota)

The item is a United States quarter dollar, specifically from the America the Beautiful Quarters series. The obverse side, while not fully visible, would feature the standard portrait of George Washington. The reverse side, which is prominently displayed, depicts an image of Mount Rushmore, showcasing the carved faces of four U.S. presidents (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln). The inscription 'MOUNT RUSHMORE' is visible along the top arc, and 'SOUTH DAKOTA 2013' is centered at the bottom, indicating its state and year of mintage. The phrase 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' is partially visible on the right side. The coin appears to be made of a silver-colored metallic alloy, typical of U.S. quarters, likely a copper-nickel clad composition. Its general condition appears to be circulated, showing some minor surface wear and possibly some light smudging or discoloration, but no significant damage like deep scratches, dents, or major corrosion is immediately apparent. The details of the carving on Mount Rushmore are still relatively crisp. The rim appears intact and shows no obvious signs of damage. As a modern circulating coin, it is factory-produced with standard coin craftsmanship.
