The 2015 Quarter is arguably the issue with the greatest variety of designs. That being said, we have our work cut out for us as we break down the value of this America the Beautiful Quarter. We will skip the values of silver bullion from this date because we feel that those deserve a value guide of their own.
So, without further ado, here’s the breakdown of the value of the 2015 Quarter.

History of the 2015 Quarter
The 2015 Quarter is a member of the bigger America the Beautiful Quarters, which is often abbreviated as the ATB Quarter. It took an act of Congress to order these coins, the America’s Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008.
This mouthful of law ordered 56 quarters, one for each state or jurisdiction. Each coin had to feature a national park or forest from the state it represented.
The rollout for these coins began in April 2010 and ended in January 2021, with five iterations being released in each calendar year. In 2015, the U.S. Mint honored the following national parks and forests:
| National Park or Forest | State | Release Date |
| Homestead National Historical Park | Nebraska | February 9th, 2015 |
| Kisatchie National Forest | Louisiana | April 13th, 2015 |
| Blue Ridge Parkway | North Carolina | June 8th, 2015 |
| Bombay Hook | Delaware | September 14th, 2015 |
| Saratoga National Historical Park | New York | November 16th, 2015 |
Physical Features of the 2015 Quarter
Like other post-1965 Washington Quarters, the 2015 Quarters are struck on copper planchets clad with a mixture of copper and nickel. However, there were 2015-S Proof Quarters that were made from 90% silver and 10% copper. The clad coins weigh 5.67 grams, while the silver proofs weigh 6.30 grams. Regardless of their metallic makeup, these coins have a uniform diameter of 24.3 mm.
They use a sharpened John Flanagan design on their obverse, the same design that has been used on the Washington Quarters since their inception.
While the obverse is consistent across the 2015 date, the coin uses five different designs for its reverse, one for every national park honored in 2015. Regardless of the depiction at the center of the reverse, each design featured the name of the national park, the state, and the date “2015.”
2015 Quarter: Varieties
The 2015 Quarters were struck by all the major U.S. Mint branches, including the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints. These facilities struck regular strikes as well as prooflike examples. In addition to these coins, the San Francisco Mint struck proof coins. Below is a breakdown of the value of the emerging varieties.
2015-P Quarter Value
- U.S. Mint: Philadelphia
- Mint Mark: P
- Total Mintage: 1,435,216,000
Let’s start with the regular strikes; these coins are worth between 30 and 40 cents in circulated condition and between $0.50 and $550 in their mint states. 2015-P Homestead examples are available up to the almost perfect MS69 condition, and they are worth more in the high grades.
| 2015-P Quarter Value (Regular Strike) | ||||
| Heavily Circulated (G4 – XF40) |
About Uncirculated (AU50 – AU58+) | Uncirculated (MS60 – MS64+) |
Brilliant Uncirculated (MS65 and higher) | |
| 2015-P Homestead Quarter | $0.30 | $0.30 – $0.40 | $100.00 | $7.50 – $550 |
| 2015-P Kisatchie Quarter | $0.30 | $0.30 – $0.40 | 7.50 – $80 | |
| 2015-P Blue Ridge Quarter | $0.30 | $0.30 – $0.40 | 7.50 – $80 | |
| 2015-P Bombay Hook Quarter | $0.30 | $0.30 – $0.40 | 7.50 – $110 | |
| 2015-P Saratoga Quarter | $0.30 | $0.30 – $0.40 | 7.50 – $125 | |
In addition to their regular strikes, the Philadelphia Mint also struck prooflike quarters. They are available in the Bombay Hook and Saratoga varieties. From our research, these coins typically show up in the base prooflike condition between the MS66 and MS68 grades.
2015-P Bombay Hook Prooflike Quarters are worth between $20 and $125 in these states. Their Saratoga counterparts typically show up in the MS66 and MS67 conditions. In these states, they are worth $20 and $25, respectively.
| 2015-P Prooflike Quarter Value (PL) | |||
| MS66 | MS67 | MS68 | |
| 2015-P Bombay Hook Quarter | $20 | $25 | $125 |
| 2015-P Saratoga Quarter | $20 | $25 | – |
Despite their high mintage, not many of these coins show up in auctions. They are a fairly recent release, and there’s not much interest in them.
However, a few examples have sold for pretty handsome prices. For example, one 2015-P Bombay Hook Quarter sold for $735 in 2019. The coin was graded MS68 by PCGS and is possibly one of the finest examples in existence.
2015-D Quarters Value
- U.S. Mint: Denver
- Mint Mark: D
- Total Mintage: 1,555,600,000
The value of 2015-D Quarters is pretty much consistent across the national parks until the MS67 condition. In MS68, their values vary, with the Homestead variety coming out on top.
In circulated conditions, a circulated 2015-D Quarter is worth between 30 and 40 cents. In mint states, they are worth between $0.50 and $375.
| 2015-D Quarter Value (Regular Strike) | ||||

| 2015-D Kisatchie Quarter | $0.30 | $0.30 – $0.40 | $0.50 – $6.00 | $7.50 – $150 |
| 2015-D Blue Ridge Quarter | $0.30 | $0.30 – $0.40 | $0.50 – $6.00 | $7.50 – $100 |
| 2015-D Bombay Hook Quarter | $0.30 | $0.30 – $0.40 | $0.50 – $6.00 | $7.50 – $110 |
| 2015-D Saratoga Quarter | $0.30 | $0.30 – $0.40 | $0.50 – $6.00 | $7.50 – $125 |
Prooflike 2005 Quarters from the Denver Mint are more diverse, with some examples exhibiting a deep cameo contrast. They are available across the five national parks and typically show up between the MS66 and MS68 states. They are worth between $10 and $425.
| 2015-D Prooflike Quarter Vlue (PL) | ||
| Prooflike (PL) MS66 – MS68 |
Deep Prooflike (DPL) MS66 – MS68 |

| 2015-D Homestead Quarter | $20 – $400 | $25 – $425 |
| 2015-D Kisatchie Quarter | $20 – $175 | $45 – $200 |
| 2015-D Blue Ridge Quarter | $20 – $125 | $25 – $150 |
| 2015-D Bombay Hook Quarter | $20 – $125 | $35 – $150 |
| 2015-D Saratoga Quarter | $10 – $150 | $25 – $175 |
In the open market, it’s the same old story: not so many coins to report about. The highest price we can report was the 2018 auction of a 2015-D Kisatchie Quarter that sold for $644.40; not bad for a 2015 Quarter that’s graded MS68.
2015-S Quarter Value
- U.S. Mint: San Francisco
- Mint Mark: S
- Mintage: 5,078,860
The San Francisco Mint also contributed to the production of 2015 Quarters, making both regular strikes and prooflike coins. The regular strikes can be found in all stages of circulation, with the circulated examples being worth between 30 and 40 cents. In these conditions, the equally-graded coins hold the same value regardless of the national parks they represent.
The same trend extends to the uncirculated 2015-S Quarters. They are worth between $7.50 and $250. Between the MS60 and MS67 grades, similarly–graded coins will have equal values until the MS67 state. In MS68, 2015-S Blue Ridge Quarters are worth the most with a value of $250. 2015-S Homestead Quarters are worth the least, with a value of $80 in the MS68 state.
| 2015-S Quarter Value (Regular Strike) | ||||
| Heavily Circulated (G4 – XF40) |

| 2015-S Saratoga Quarter | $0.30 | $0.30 – $0.40 | $0.50 – $6.00 | $7.50 – $150 |
2015-S Quarters may be available in prooflike state, but you won’t find them in deep prooflike conditions. They typically show up between the MS66 and MS67 grades. Between these grades, they are worth from $20 to $40. 2015-S Saratoga Quarters are available in the MS68 state, but they will be rare. In this condition, they are worth $175.
| 2015-S Quarter Prooflike Value (PL) | |||
| MS66 | MS67 | MS68 | |
| 2015-S Homestead Quarter | $20 | $25 | – |
| 2015-S Kisatchie Quarter | $20 | $25 | – |
| 2015-S Blue Ridge Quarter | $20 | $40 | – |
| 2015-S Bombay Hook Quarter | $20 | $25 | – |
| 2015-S Saratoga Quarter | $20 | $30 | $175 |
The highest price ever realized on auctions involving these quarters is $695, and it was for the sale of an early-release 2015-S Saratoga Quarter. The coin was graded MS68 by NGC. The closest quarter to rival its success was a similarly-graded 2015-S Homestead Quarter that sold for $539.
2015-S Proof Quarter Value
- U.S. Mint: San Francisco
- Mint Mark: S
- Mintage: 4,157,515 Clad, 2,218,150 Silver
The San Francisco Mint also made proof coins in clad and silver variations. The silver proofs were made of 90% silver, strengthened by 10% copper. The national parks depicted on the reverse do not affect the value of 2015-S Proof Quarters. Their values are affected by their condition and metallic composition.
The clad proofs are worth between $1 and $27.50. The silver proofs are worth more for obvious reasons, with their values ranging between $7 and $32.50.
| 2015-S Clad/Proof Quarter Value | ||
| Coin Condition | Clad | Silver |
| Uncirculated (PL60) | $1 | $7 |
| Uncirculated (PL61) | $1.25 | $7.50 |
| Uncirculated (PL62) | $1.75 | $8 |
| Uncirculated (PL63) | $2.25 | $8.50 |
| Uncirculated (PL64) | $2.75 | $9 |
| Uncirculated (PL65) | $4 | $9.50 |

| Uncirculated (PL67) | $9 | $12.50 |
| Uncirculated (PL68) | $11.50 | $15 |
| Uncirculated (PL69) | $20 | $25 |
| Uncirculated (PL70) | $27.50 | $32.50 |
Despite their obvious superior eye appeal, 2015-S Proof Quarters don’t sell for as high as regular 2015-P, 2015-D, and 2015-S Quarters. The highest price ever realized in auctions involving these coins is $204.50, and it was for a 2015-S Silver Proof Kisatchie Quarter sold in 2018.
Common Error Coins
The 2015 Quarters have some peculiar errors that have led to the rise of some interesting varieties. Let’s break down the possible values of these coins.
2015 Homestead Quarter Leaky Bucket Error
Die errors in some 2015 Homestead Quarters make it appear as though the bucket is leaking. While the rest of the bucket is well-struck, the bottom is plagued with blobs of metal. While you can buy these coins online, you can find them among coin rolls.
In their raw condition, 2015 Homestead Quarters with leaky buckets sell between $1.04 and $7.99.
2015 Homestead Quarte Snow on the Roof Error
Another die error impresses blobs of metal along the roof of the shack depicted on the reverse of the 2015 Homestead Quarter. The error gives an illusion of snow stacked on the roof.
While the value of a 2015 Homestead Quarter with such an error is dependent on its condition, they generally sell for between $0.99 and $5.99.
2015 Homestead Quarter, Window Double Die Reverse Error (WDDR)
This error manifests in different ways. In some coins, there will be doubling along the window sills. In others, the pump appears to be reflected on the window panes. Regardless of the nature of the error, these coins are quite valuable. They have sold between $3.00 to $22.09. The more obvious the error, the higher the selling price.
Final Thoughts
The 2015 Quarter is a beginner-friendly coin. The bar of entry is so low you can get in for next to nothing. The coin also has a ton of varieties, and it should keep you busy for a while. And to make things interesting, you can hunt for the above-mentioned error coins. The beauty is that all of these coins can be had for their face value through some old-fashioned coin roll hunting.
And if you want to invest in the hobby, you can buy 2015 Silver Proof Quarters. With inflation being what it is, these coins will preserve your wealth for a very long time.
