The 1999-P Georgia State Quarter is part of the groundbreaking 50 State Quarters Program, one of the most successful and widely collected coin series in U.S. history. Released in the program’s inaugural year, this coin honors the state of Georgia with a design that reflects its heritage and identity.
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the reverse features the outline of the state of Georgia, a peach (symbolizing the “Peach State”), and sprigs of live oak, along with the state motto “Wisdom, Justice, Moderation.” The obverse continues to display the classic portrait of George Washington.
Graded MS64 by PCGS, this coin is in Mint State condition, offering strong luster and sharp details with only minor marks typical for the grade. It sits just below Gem quality, making it an attractive and affordable option for collectors building high-grade State Quarter sets.
