The 2009 quarters: six designs after the fifty states
District and territory names complete the identity that the date cannot supply.

Six subjects in one year
The 2009 program honors the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Its Washington obverse continues the state-quarter format. Record the actual reverse subject, mint, and finish before looking up an issue or choosing a comparison.

The collector version can share the design
Clad regular and proof coins and silver proofs share the themes. Packaging can help identify a product but should be checked against the coin itself. Inspect portrait and reverse high points for wear, and look for hairlines or contact marks on reflective surfaces.

A design feature and a production defect
Start an error assessment with the normal design image, then identify exactly what differs. A raised chip, a damaged letter, and a confirmed doubled die require different evidence. Match current sales by subject, composition, finish, and quantity; a six-coin set cannot supply the price of one loose quarter without an explicit adjustment.

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.
