2022-D American Women Quarter
Wilma Mankiller
Struck on 5 Cent Planchet 4.95 Grams
PCGS MS 64
UNIQUE
Only 2 Off-Metals Known for the Series!
$20,000

An amazing discovery coin and only the second off-metal mint error known in the American Women Quarter Series. The U.S. Mint honored trail blazing women in a four year series (2022-2025) featuring their achievements in civil rights, science, space, government and the arts.

This unique American Women quarter was struck on a U.S. 5 cent planchet. It was authenticated and certified by PCGS as MS 64. The only other off-metal known in this series is a 2023 Sally Ride quarter struck on a 5 cent planchet, certified MS 67 by NGC and sold for five figures.

Many collectors and dealers do not realize that since 2020, no other U.S. off-metal mint errors have surfaced. There are no other off-metal mint errors known in collections, auctions or in dealer's inventory that are dated 2020 or newer. These two American Women quarter off-metals stand alone as extreme modern mint error rarities.

These two American Women quarters, struck on 5 cent planchets, portray a different reverse for each woman. From 2022 through 2025, five reverses were chosen for each year. These 20 different reverse designs all feature the same obverse, a new portrait of George Washington. This new portrait was first used on the gold 1999 $5 coin and then chosen for the American Women Quarter Series. Designed by Laura Fraser in 1932 but rejected by the U.S. Mint for the first Washington Quarter, her design was finally recognized and forever memorialized on both of these denominations.

I discovered and sold the original Laura Fraser obverse plaster for her rejected George Washington design for the obverse of the quarter. Timeless in its design, George Washington's portrait by Laura Fraser was finally appreciated almost a century later.

This unique off-metal speaks for itself and belongs in the finest collection of mint errors or Washington quarters.
