The 2021 Crossing the Delaware quarter: identify the reverse first
Two quarter programs share 2021, so the year alone cannot choose the reference.

The Washington crossing design
This 2021 reverse depicts Washington commanding the crossing of the Delaware. It follows the last America the Beautiful release and precedes the American Women program. Read the reverse inscription and subject rather than putting every 2021 quarter into a park-site comparison.

A raised feature on the hat
Keep a full reverse photograph and a close-up of any raised area on the hat or nearby design. Describe its location and shape before choosing an error term. A die chip is a candidate mechanism; the size, die match, and comparable market must support any premium. Do not let a seller’s nickname replace inspection.

One design, several product contexts
Record mint and finish, inspect Washington’s portrait and reverse high points for wear, and check fields for scratches or hairlines. Compare the same composition and finish. Bulk bags, proof sets, and one loose circulation coin are different quantities and products even when the reverse matches.

Selected reviewed issue records
These catalog standards describe the named issue, not a measured specimen. The selected records below do not cover every date, mint, strike, or die variety. Reported production is labeled separately from established mintage. Unknown standards and mintage remain visible; survival estimates and certified populations are separate research questions.
No issue-level specification or mintage records are published for this category yet. Verify the exact date, mint, strike, metal, and subtype in its reference before using a numerical standard.
References and review
