The 2005-S West Virginia Silver Proof State Quarter is the 35th release in the acclaimed U.S. Mint's 50 State Quarters Program.Struck at the San Francisco Mint in .900 fine silver (90% silver, 10% copper), this collector-exclusive proof coin was produced solely for the U.S. Mint's Silver Proof Sets and was never intended for circulation.Featuring the iconic New River Gorge Bridge on its reverse, the coin celebrates one of West Virginia's greatest engineering achievements while offering collectors a beautifully struck silver proof with lasting historical significance.
Obverse
The obverse features the familiar portrait of George Washington, originally designed by John Flanagan.
The design includes the inscriptions:
The mirror-like proof finish enhances the portrait with frosted design elements set against brilliant reflective fields, a hallmark of U.S. Mint proof coinage.
Reverse
The reverse depicts the spectacular New River Gorge Bridge stretching across the New River, symbolizing West Virginia's rich natural landscape and remarkable engineering accomplishments.
The reverse inscriptions include:
Designed by Joe Manchin and engraved by John Mercanti, the artwork commemorates one of America's most recognizable steel arch bridges and an enduring symbol of the Mountain State.
Launched in 1999, the 50 State Quarters Program became one of the most successful commemorative coin programs in U.S. history, honoring each state's unique heritage in the order they joined the Union.Released on October 14, 2005, the West Virginia quarter was the fifth state quarter issued that year and the 35th overall in the series.The reverse design highlights the New River Gorge Bridge, an engineering landmark spanning the scenic New River near Fayetteville.Completed in 1977, the bridge dramatically reduced travel time across the gorge from approximately 40 minutes to less than one minute.The design was selected by then-Governor Joe Manchin and engraved by John Mercanti, capturing both the state's natural beauty and engineering excellence.
