2008-D New Mexico State Quarter

The 2008-D New Mexico State Quarter from the Denver mint facility. Each coin is in brilliant uncirculated condition. The reverse of New Mexico's quarter features a Zia sun symbol over a topographical outline of the State with the inscription "Land of Enchantment." The coin also bears the inscriptions "New Mexico" and "1912."

What's a 2008-D New Mexico quarter worth?

Denver's 244.4 million mintage keeps circulated examples at face value and brilliant uncirculated singles at $0.75–$2.35 (USA Coin Book). The registry-set surprise: in MS68 — the finest known for this issue — the 2008-D lists at $850 (Greysheet CPG). That grade won't turn up in a roll, but it shows how condition, not date, drives modern quarter value.

Neither mint is scarcer — the play for collectors is the P+D pair of the Zia sun design.
