2005-P Minnesota State Quarter

The 2005-P Minnesota State Quarter from the Philadelphia mint facility. Each coin is in brilliant uncirculated condition. The design features a tree-lined lake with two people fishing, a loon on the water, and a textured outline of the State surrounding its nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes".

What's a 2005 Minnesota state quarter worth?

A circulated 2005-P Minnesota quarter is worth face value — 25 cents, and most uncirculated coins retail for under $7 ($10–$50 in MS67). The money is in the Extra Tree doubled-die reverse: the strongest variety (DDR-001, FS-801) shows a ghostly extra spruce beside the treeline right of the state outline. PCGS puts it around $40 in MS65 and $275 in MS67. More than four dozen lesser doubled-tree dies have been identified, and those minor versions bring smaller premiums — so identification matters before you pay up.

To check your coin, confirm the "P" mint mark on the obverse, just right of Washington's ponytail. Then examine the reverse with a loupe: on the doubled die, faint extra tree outlines appear immediately to the right of the fourth evergreen, near the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" banner. An "S" coin is a proof, and 90% silver 2005-S proofs also exist.

Philadelphia struck 239,600,000 Minnesota quarters. Charles Vickers' reverse features a loon on a lake with a wooded shoreline for the 32nd state. We inspect and grade every coin before it ships. Browse all state quarters, the 2005-D Minnesota quarter, or the full state quarters list.
