2008 Oklahoma State Quarter

This is a United States twenty-five cent piece, commonly known as a quarter, from the 50 State Quarters Program. The reverse side depicts the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, the state bird of Oklahoma, with its long tail feathers fanned out in flight. Behind the bird, wildflowers identified as Indian Blanket (Gaillardia pulchella) are visible. Above the bird, the text read 'OKLAHOMA' and the date '1907', representing the year Oklahoma was admitted to the Union. At the bottom, the release year '2008' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' are inscribed. The coin is composed of a cupro-nickel clad copper. In terms of condition, the image shows significant surface wear, a dull luster, and numerous small contact marks or 'bag marks.' The details on the bird's feathers and the flowers appear somewhat flattened, suggesting it has been in general circulation. There is no visible mint mark in this view as it would be located on the obverse (heads) side. The coin represents the 46th release in the 50 State Quarters series produced by the U.S. Mint.
