The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The obverse presents a stunning portrait of George Washington, originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser to commemorate Washington's 200th birthday. Though recommended for the 1932 quarter, this elegant design was passed over in favor of John Flanagan's familiar profile. Now, nearly a century later, Fraser's artistic vision finally graces America's circulating coinage, adding historical significance to every coin in your roll.

Reverse: The reverse captures Dr. Sally Ride next to a window on the space shuttle, inspired by her own reflective words: "But when I wasn't working, I was usually at a window looking down at Earth." The inscription "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is intentionally positioned over the Earth next to America, symbolizing that out of all women in the United States, Dr. Ride was the first into space. This thoughtful design invites you to share her perspective, gazing down at our planet from the vastness of space, and reminds us of the courage it takes to venture into the unknown.

Why Collectors Choose This Piece

This 40-coin roll offers exceptional value for collectors building their American Women Quarters collection or investors seeking numismatic pieces with inspirational significance. Dr. Sally Ride's historic 1983 space shuttle mission broke gender barriers in space exploration and inspired countless young women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
