A total of 2,250 pieces were made in an alloy base with 0.999 Silver plating finish ( these were also minted in 0.999 solid silver, but this auction is only for the Silverplated piece). After the popularity of the 1st run of the 1999 State Quarters program, there some concerned citizens convinced congressmen to propose a an extension to the State Quarters program to include the Territories. Sadly this proposal was rejected at Congress. So this commemorative token was minted again on years 2005 through 2008. At last, on 2009 Congress approved the State Quarter extension program to include Washington D.C. and 5 U.S.Territories, which put an end to the re-minting of this piece.By then, Mr. Daniel Carr, famous artist who designed both the New York and Rhode Island Quarters had also designed other quarters, to include Washigton D.C. and Puerto Rico. Once the proposed territorial quarters was rejected, Mr. Daniel Carr was approached by a major collectibles brand, a private company that sells coins, bullion, and issues medallic homages for coin and exonumia collectors. A deal was struck and this private company issued this Washington D.C. as well as the Puerto Rico Quarters on 2004. These quarters became super popular, but just as fast, it caught the eye of the Federal Government, which took the collectible company to court due to the emblematic American coinage phrases, which made these coins very similar to real coins, despite the obvious word "COPY" struck on Washington's head. A happy ending was found, in which the collectibles company had to modify the design, eliminating the phrases "E PLURIBUS UNUM", "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "IN GOD WE TRUST", "LIBERTY" and above all, the phrase "QUARTER DOLLAR" which was deemed illegal, as no medal issue should bear a real denomination currently in use. This resulted in its obverse changed for 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 (its last year), with the phrase "United States of America" changed for "50 United States * One Nation" and the denomination "Quarter Dollar" changed for "51st State Quarter". These fantasy coins have become truly hard to find hot seller in the market as years go by. Later, on 2008, a new proposal to make territorial quarters was submitted and by then the State Quarters popularity was making U.S. Mint so much profit that they readily said yes, signifying that new designs for Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico had to be made, as Daniel Carr's designs were already made into private medal issues. Daniel Carr has persevered into issuing hundreds of designs by now, and even has his private mint, becoming without a doubt the most famous numismatic artist of this decade. His issues, usually made in a variety of different metals and finishes, but in limited quantities sell fast, and added to the fact that he has a small coin cult of followers, his creations have all risen in value almost as soon as they come out of the coin press. Here is a rare chance to own this rare creation, already scarce and worth much more than when they initally came out. I was able to find a few left over pieces from a now defunct coin dealer, which I am now selling here on Ebay. You will receive a beautifully preserved gem prooflike specimen, devoid of blemishes or scratches, in its original coin capsule, which may be a bit worn or scratched due to age. Sadly I do not have any orignal collectibles company certificicate of authenticity to ship with your purchase. I only uploaded partial photo of one so you can see the details along with Daniel Carr's signature. Remember you are buying a Medal and NOT a real U.S. Mint Quarter Dollar. Some people may call it a prop or a fantasy, but this is the very first design to win a contest to become Washington D.C.s quarter dollar! ... and only 2,250 proof pieces were ever made in silverclad finish! This collectible piece is an original, authentic Daniel Carr's medallic issue produced , sold out over 15 years ago!. Buy yours while its still available. ESPAÑOL: SALUDOS,Aquí le ofrecemos UN (1) excelente ejemplar de peseta original para WASHINGTON D.C., diseñada por DANIEL CARR, el gran artista gráfico creador de las pesetas de New York y Rhode Island, y quien ha diseñado cientos de medallas y reacuñaciones aprobadas y bajo licencia de monedas antiguas y modernas. El diseño de esta pieza, además del diseño de la peseta original para PUERTO RICO, fueron finalistas para su posible fabricación como parte de una propuesta para extender la novedosa serie de pesetas de los Estados para incluir las pesetas de los Territorios de la Unión Americana, pero la propuesta fue rechazada y engavetada por el congreso. Al haber perdido su tiempo, pero ser la figura del momento como artista gráfico en fama, una compañía de coleccionables a nivel nacional le ofreció fabricarle estas pesetas para venta como souvenirs, a lo que el Sr. Carr accede y se convierte en el artista estrella de la compañía, famosa por su dóllar de las torres gemelas Twin Towers luego del 911. Estas pesetas sacadas por 1ra vez en el 2004 llevaron a la compañía a la Corte Federal, donde le ordenaron a cambiar el anverso ya que es ilegal utilizar 2 o más de las frases "In God We Trust", "Liberty", "E Pluribus Unum", "United States Of America" y una denominación real en inglés, juntas en la misma cara de una medalla, ya que puede ser malinterpretada como una falsificación hecha con propósito de estafar a cualquier persona. De esta manera, todas las pesetas de esta serie, (es decir, las que no fueron recogidas y destruidas) se vendieron al público como pan caliente. Luego del 2004, al igual que la peseta Boricua por él diseñada, la hecha para Washington D.C. tuvo que cambiar su anverso en los años 2005, 2006, 2007, y 2008. Hoy día el Sr. Carr es bien famoso a través de los clubes de medallistas y numismáticos a traves de los Estados Unidos. De hacen unos años para acá fabrica sus propias piezas través de su compañía en Colorado. Muchas de sus bellas piezas son raras, vienen en muchos materiales, y son de tiradas ridículamente bajas, por lo que se venden en cientos de dólares. Como resultado, el Sr. Carr ha desarrollado un fanatico grupo de seguidores fieles que se pelean en las subastas para conseguir sus piezas raras, especialmente las primeras. Y ésta peseta 2008 fué una de sus primeras 10 piezas diseñadas, así que imagínese... Cada pieza es en aleación con laminado en plata pura, tiene tamaño idéntico a la peseta americana y un peso similar, viene en cápsula de plástico transparente. LAMENTABLEMENTE NO VIENE CON CERTIFICADO. Sólo puse parte de una foto para que usted vea lo que trae escrito. La medalla viene en terminación proof / Flor de cuño o calidad espejo, sin ningún defecto. Favor de ver las fotos. Estas piezas son originales y AUTENTICAS.
