You will receive: One Honorable Patsy Takemoto Mink American Women Quarter Proof Coin minted at the United States Mint in San Francisco. Unlike circulating coins, proof coins display brilliant backgrounds, with frosted, sculpted foregrounds. Proof coins receive the highest quality strike possible and can be distinguished by their sharpness of detail and brilliant, mirror-like surface. These mirror-like finishes are called Cameo or Deep Cameo. Coins in this auction are purchased directly from the United States Mint and are NOT circulated or taken from bank rolls. Coins are taken from United States Mint original packaging, carefully placed with gloves in 2×2 Cowens or Guardian flip holders, and shipped in strong plain envelopes. About The Honorable Patsy Takemoto Mink: The Honorable Patsy Takemoto Mink was the first woman of color elected to Congress. She was one of the authors and sponsors of the Title IX law that stated that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Title IX was renamed the Patsy Takemoto Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act following her death. “The second coin of the 2024 American Women Quarters Program celebrates the incredible life and legacy of the Honorable Patsy Takemoto Mink,” said Mint Director Ventris C. Gibson. “As the first Asian American woman to serve in Congress, she fought bravely for gender and racial equality, affordable childcare, bilingual education, environmental protection, and, most notably, Title IX.” Mint Artistic Infusion Program Artist Beth Zaiken designed the image, and Mint Medallic Artist John P. McGraw sculpted the image. “Patsy Takemoto Mink was an amazing Congresswoman and a true pioneer who worked tirelessly to champion women’s rights,” said McGraw. “Title IX, her groundbreaking legislation, gave all women equal footing in the workplace and sports.” The coin’s reverse (tails) depicts Patsy Takemoto Mink holding her landmark “TITLE IX” legislation. In the background, a view of the U.S. Capitol Building prominently features the south wing, home to the U.S. House of Representatives, where Mink served in Congress. The lei she wears represents her home state of Hawaii. The obverse (heads) depicts a portrait of George Washington originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser to mark George Washington’s 200th birthday. Though her work was a recommended design for the 1932 quarter, then-Treasury Secretary Mellon ultimately selected the familiar John Flanagan design. Regarding Fraser, Director Gibson said, “I am proud that the obverse design of George Washington is by one of the most prolific women sculptors of the early 20th century. Laura Gardin Fraser’s work is lauded in both numismatic and artistic circles. Ninety years after she intended for it to do so, her obverse design has fittingly taken its place on the quarter.” Obverse inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2024.” The design is common to all quarters issued in the series. Each 2024 AWQ honoree is a powerful, inspiring example of the breadth, depth, and range of accomplishments, and the experiences demonstrated by these extraordinary women speak to the contributions women have always made in the history of our country. Coins featuring additional honorees will continue to ship through 2025.* *United States coin images [and text] from the United States Mint.

Orders placed on weekends or holidays will be shipped on the next business day. Orders over $200 require signature on delivery. eBay Standard Envelope Service: We ship many coin orders (three or less coins weighing under three ounces) in 2x2 flips using via United States Postal Service (USPS) First-Class mail using eBay Standard Envelope labels. You need to use eBay’s website software to track these envelopes. Note that these envelopes travel through the USPS network slowly. As well, note that USPS may also be slow in updating tracking information to the eBay software. High Speed Sorters: The USPS First-Class mailing system by default processes standard envelopes through high-speed sorters. This can, and does, damage coins. It also can cause other shipping issues, such as delayed delivery. If you DO NOT wish your coins to go through high-speed sorters, you can add a small additional fee ($0.58) to your purchase and we will forward this payment to the USPS for your item as a service for our customers. Your order will not be run through high-speed postal sorters while still benefiting from eBay Envelope's tracking service. This method is highly recommended by us AND meets all of the USPS requirements for sending coins though their system. If you wish this service for your order, choose "First Class" shipping at checkout. Combined Shipping Discount: We cheerfully Combine Shipping charges for all the items in your shopping cart at the time of purchase. This is done automatically for you in eBay's checkout procedure.
