Design and Specifications of the 2003 Quarter
The 2003 Quarter was part of the 50 State Quarters Program, which began in 1999 and ran through 2008. This innovative program featured rotating reverse designs honoring each of the 50 states in the order they joined the Union. The 2003 quarters celebrated Illinois, Alabama, Maine, Missouri, and Arkansas.
This series was immensely popular, sparking widespread interest in coin collecting and serving as an educational tool about U.S. history and geography.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 2003 Quarters significantly impacts their value, especially for uncirculated coins. Circulation strikes in MS65 to MS67 grades are relatively common and affordable. However, coins in MS68 and above become scarce and valuable.
For proof coins, grades of PR69 are common, but PR70 (perfect) specimens command significant premiums. Collectors particularly value coins with deep cameo contrast between the frosted design elements and mirrored fields.

Strike quality is crucial for 2003 Quarters, especially for the intricate State Quarter reverse designs. Coins with full, sharp details are more desirable. Luster is another important factor, with coins displaying bright, cartwheel luster being more valuable.
While not typically toned, some collectors may pay a premium for attractively toned specimens, particularly for proof issues. Error coins, such as off-center strikes or die cracks, can also command higher prices, though they are relatively uncommon for this year.
