Uncirculated 2000 Massachusetts Colorized State Quarter


Massachusetts State Quarter

The Massachusetts quarter, the first quarter of the new millennium from the 50 State Quarters® Program, features a design of "The Minuteman," a famous statue that stands guard at The Minuteman National Historical Park in Concord, Massachusetts.

The selected design captures a piece of the Bay State's exceptional history. The Minutemen played a big role in protecting our nation, as they rallied together to help defeat the British during the Revolutionary War. These small, influential forces consisting of regular farmers and colonists, were always at-the-ready and were trained to assemble and fight on just a minute's notice-hence the term 'minutemen'.

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. 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.
