2001-S Vermont 50 State Quarter — PCGS PR70DCAM

A Perfect Gem from the Green Mountain State

This is the 2001-S Vermont State Quarter, certified by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) in the flawless PR70 Deep Cameo (DCAM) grade — the highest possible designation for a proof coin. A PR70 grade signifies that this coin exhibits no visible imperfections under 5x magnification, representing absolute perfection in modern coin preservation .

The "Deep Cameo" Effect

The DCAM designation highlights exceptional visual contrast: the frosted design elements stand out boldly against deeply mirrored fields, creating a dramatic cameo-like appearance that gives the coin outstanding eye appeal. This striking contrast is the hallmark of the finest proof coins .

Historic Design

The Vermont quarter, the 14th design issued in the 50 State Quarters Program, celebrates the state's heritage with a reverse design by T. James Ferrell that depicts two large maple trees with sap buckets hanging from them, a man holding a bucket, and Camel's Hump Mountain in the background. The reverse also bears Vermont's state motto, "Freedom And Unity" . The obverse features John Flanagan's familiar profile of George Washington, which has appeared on the quarter since 1932 .
