2001 Kentucky State Quarter

This item is a circulation-issue United States twenty-five cent piece, specifically the 2001 Kentucky State Quarter from the 50 State Quarters Program. The reverse design features the historic Federal Hill mansion, known as 'My Old Kentucky Home,' behind a thoroughbred horse standing behind a split-rail fence. The coin is composed of a cupronickel-clad copper core, displaying a consistent silver-toned metallic luster. Key inscriptions include 'KENTUCKY 1792' at the top, 'MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME' to the right of the building, and '2001 E PLURIBUS UNUM' at the bottom. Physically, the coin exhibits signs of moderate circulation, including numerous small surface scratches, contact marks, and a slight flattening of the higher relief points on the horse and manor house. The strike quality appears standard for business strikes, though the background Fields show some graininess and accumulated grime, particularly in the recessed letters and around the rim. There are no obvious mint errors such as doubling or clipped edges visible. This specimen represents the 15th coin released in the state series, minted in the early 21st century by the United States Mint.
