South Carolina State Quarter
This item is a 2000 South Carolina State Quarter from the United States Mint's 50 State Quarters Program. The reverse side is visible, featuring a composite design of state symbols. The central imagery includes an outline of the state of South Carolina with a Cabbage Palmetto tree, a Carolina Wren perched on a Yellow Jessamine branch, and a crescent moon, all of which are elements of the state flag or state symbols. The quarter is inscribed with the text 'SOUTH CAROLINA', '1788' (the year of statehood), and 'THE PALMETTO STATE' at the top. The coin is struck in a cupro-nickel clad composition (75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper core), exhibiting a bright silvery metallic luster. The condition shows significant signs of environmental wear or chemical tarnishing; there is a distinct dark spot or heavy oxidation on the right side near the bird imagery, and overall surface dullness with scattered micro-scratches. The relief design remains relatively sharp, indicating a moderate level of circulation. It features a reeded edge and an approximate diameter of 24.26 mm. This specific design was the eighth released in the series and was minted in large quantities for general circulation.
