Fifth and Final State Quarter to be Released in 2007 Honors Utah
The fifth and final commemorative quarter-dollar coin released in 2007 honors Utah, and is the 45th coin in the United States Mint’s 50 State Quarters® Program. Utah was admitted into the Union on January 4, 1896, becoming our Nation’s 45th state. The reverse of Utah’s quarter features two locomotives moving toward the golden spike that joined the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads, linking East to West and transforming both the Utah Territory and the Nation with the inscription “Crossroads of the West.” The coin also bears the inscriptions “Utah” and “1896.”
A Denver Mint first-strike ceremony will be held Oct. 15 for dignitaries gathered to honor the state of Utah.
Collectors can purchase the coin through special Mint-created proof sets. In addition, he coin is also included in the uncirculated coin set, which went on sale Oct. 9 for $22.95.
