Uncirculated 2004 Texas Colorized State Quarter


Texas State Quarter

The Texas quarter is the third quarter of 2004, and the 28th in the 50 State Quarters® Program. On December 29, 1845, Texas became the 28th state to be admitted into the Union. The quarter's reverse design incorporates an outline of the State with a star superimposed on the outline and the inscription, "The Lone Star State." The lariat encircling the design is symbolic of the cattle and cowboy history of Texas, as well as the frontier spirit that tamed the land.

Texas comes from the Indian word "tejas," meaning friends or allies, and appropriately Texas's motto is "Friendship." Texas is the only state to have had six different flags fly over its land; Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, Confederate States of America and the United States of America.

Colorized State Quarters
Colorized state quarters are uncirculated coins that are US-minted for each US state. These are coins that can add a new dimension to coin collection. You can also start a new set of collectibles with only colorized state quarters. These are commemorative quarters with unique designs that honor the history, tradition as well as the symbols that depict each of the fifty states of the US. The designs on the reverse of the quarter are usually done by a state resident and approved by the state government. Five designs were released per year and the complete set for all of the fifty states came out from 1999 to 2008. There are almost thirty five billion colorized state quarters that have been released.
