2008-S New Mexico State Quarter Gem Proof
The 2008 New Mexico quarter stands out as a beautiful celebration of southwestern identity. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin features a specialized composition consisting of a pure copper core bonded to an outer layer of copper and nickel. The combination of metals, paired with the proof manufacturing process, results in a sharp, high-contrast finish that highlights the intricate details of the design. On the reverse side, the coin displays the distinctive Zia sun symbol positioned directly over a detailed topographical map of the state. This side also bears the state name, the year 1912, and the evocative phrase "Land of Enchantment." The obverse features the classic profile of George Washington, accompanied by the national mottoes and the "S" mint mark, which signifies its origin from San Francisco.
