2007 Utah State Quarter
This is a 2007 United States Quarter Dollar belonging to the 50 State Quarters Program, specifically representing the state of Utah. The reverse side shown features an intricate design commemorating the 'Crossroads of the West.' The central motif depicts two steam locomotives facing each other, symbolizing the meeting of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads at Promontory Summit in 1869. Between the engines is the Golden Spike that joined the rails. The coin is composed of a cupronickel-clad copper core, measuring 24.26 mm in diameter with a weight of 5.67 grams. It features the inscriptions 'UTAH 1896' at the top, 'CROSSROADS OF THE WEST' above the locomotives, and the year '2007' with 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' at the bottom. Physically, the coin displays a bright metallic luster characteristic of a circulated but well-maintained piece. There are minor surface abrasions and micro-scratches consistent with circulation wear, particularly visible along the high-relief points of the locomotive engines and the rim. The reeded edge appears intact without significant flattening. This particular strike shows clear detail in the mountains and the intricate mechanical features of the trains, indicating a quality strike from the United States Mint. As the 45th coin released in the series, it represents a significant era in American numismatic history and westward expansion commemorations.
