# 82 - The State Quarters - Part 4
Starting in 1999 the US Mint issued a 10 years program that honored each of the nation’s states in the order that they ratified the Constitution or were admitted into the Union. They chose the $.25 coin to be the vessel of the homage.
All the coins obverses show the same profile of George Washington and the reverses were usually chosen in popular contests in each state.
All the coins that I am presenting here are NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo with 90% silver purity and weight of 6.3g.
The first coin is the 2001 "Kentucky". It features a thoroughbred racehorse. The famous state song “My Old Kentucky Home” is celebrated with the inscription.
The second coin is the 2002 "Tennessee". It celebrates the State’s rich musical heritage. Three instruments are included which each represent a different type of music, the guitar, trumpet, and fiddle.
The third is the 2002 "Indiana". It features a race car. Indiana is home of the famous Indianapolis 500 car race. This is the oldest auto race in the world.
This series will continue very soon.
I hope you have enjoyed this article.

@rewards-pool where a small delegation can get you a big splash.
I like these, I have collected a bunch of circulated ones, but the slabed ones are really excelent looking.
These are silver proof, while the circulated ones are clad.
Yes, silver makes everything better . I've seen them on sale online at "Bold precious metals" last time I placed an order, I almost got a few, but I got the Canadian 2015 owl coin instead. Next time, I might get some I think.
It is very interesting if you intend to buy all the fifth states, to complete the collection.
No, I don't intend to collect them all, I just wanted a few of the states I really like, in silver. like Colorado and New York, and maybe the other states that I have traveled through.
Crossroads of America. Indiana gets some attention. 2018 Indianapolis 500 will be at 12:19 PM on Sunday, May 27.
All coins looking great.
The State Quarters were a huge popular success, but the coin experts sneered at most of the designs due to cluttered content.
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
