This 2002-S Tennessee Silver State Quarter, graded PF70 Ultra Cameo by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), is a pristine example of the U.S. Mint’s 50 State Quarters Program. Featuring deep, mirror-like surfaces and exceptional contrast, this proof coin is a tribute to the rich musical heritage of the state.

Obverse: The obverse of the coin bears the familiar profile of George Washington, originally designed by John Flanagan. The words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “QUARTER DOLLAR” appear along the rim, with the mottoes “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” flanking Washington’s portrait.

Reverse: The reverse design of this Tennessee State Quarter celebrates the state’s musical heritage, symbolizing three genres of music: country, jazz, and blues.

The state’s motto, “MUSICAL HERITAGE,” is displayed beneath the instruments, and the year of issue, “2002,” is inscribed along with “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
