2015 Quarters:Five Park Designs, Mint Marks and Value Checks

Quick answer
The five 2015 America the Beautiful quarters honor Homestead, Kisatchie, Blue Ridge Parkway, Bombay Hook and Saratoga. Ordinary circulated Philadelphia P and Denver D coins are clad and have a 25-cent face-value baseline. A design’s age or an unusual-looking detail does not by itself establish a rare error.
The PCGS guide checked October 26, 2026 lists ordinary 2015-P Homestead quarters at $3 in MS63, $7 in MS65 and $12 in MS66. Those are uncirculated grade references for one design, not a price for all 2015 quarters. San Francisco regular collector strikes, clad Proofs and 90% silver Proofs are separate categories.

Basics & coin story
The America the Beautiful program moved through national sites with five reverse designs in 2015. Their subjects form a compact collection spanning homesteading, forests, a scenic road, wetlands and the Revolutionary War.
Homestead’s cabin, water pump and corn stand for shelter, water and food. Kisatchie shows a wild turkey in flight. Blue Ridge Parkway uses a curving road and tunnel scene. Bombay Hook depicts wetland birds, while Saratoga shows the ceremonial surrender of a sword and the inscription British Surrender 1777.
The 1777 on Saratoga is historical context; 2015 remains the coin’s issue year. A five-design album slot is different from a complete P-and-D set or a collector Proof set. The national park quarter overview covers the series, while the 2020 annual guide shows why later W/V75 rules should not be applied backward to 2015.
| Feature | What to check |
|---|---|
| Denomination | 25 cents |
| Ordinary construction | Copper-nickel outer layers over a pure copper core |
| Ordinary nominal weight / diameter | 5.67 g / 24.26 mm |
| Edge | Reeded |
| Regular mint-mark location | Obverse beside Washington |
| Issue date | Read the modern year on the reverse; historical dates can also appear |
| 2015 annual group | Five designs; five different reverse subjects |
| San Francisco categories | Regular collector strikes, clad Proofs and 90% silver Proofs |
| West Point rule | No normal 2015 W/V75 quarter issue |
| Large silver alternative | Separate five-ounce .999 silver product |
Identification
Match the five reverse subjects
| Design / state | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Homestead / Nebraska | Cabin, water pump and corn |
| Kisatchie / Louisiana | Wild turkey flying above the landscape |
| Blue Ridge Parkway / North Carolina | Road curving toward a tunnel |
| Bombay Hook / Delaware | Heron and egret in a wetland setting |
| Saratoga / New York | Hands and sword; British Surrender 1777 |
Read the mint beside Washington
P and D identify the ordinary circulating mints. An S coin needs a second check because San Francisco regular collector strikes and Proofs are different products. S alone does not identify either silver or a particular Proof contrast designation.
Do not treat pump detail or a historical date as an error
A repeated-looking feature on Homestead needs an actual die-variety attribution or production-error diagnosis. Reflections, surface damage and strike-related doubling can be misleading. Saratoga’s 1777 is an intentional inscription, not a wrong date on a 2015 coin.
Condition & value
Amounts are in U.S. dollars. The listed PCGS grade examples were checked October 26, 2026. Ordinary face-value baselines and distinct collector products are separated below. They are not guaranteed purchase offers; current market conditions and selling costs can change the amount received.
| Issue | Grade / condition | Value or reference | Basis | Important condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary worn P or D | Circulated | 25¢ face-value baseline | Denomination | No normal silver content |
| 2015-P Homestead, regular | MS63 | $3 | PCGS retail guide | Uncirculated |
| 2015-P Homestead, regular | MS65 | $7 | PCGS retail guide | Exact grade and finish |
| 2015-P Homestead, regular | MS66 | $12 | PCGS retail guide | Original surfaces |
| Other design / S / Proof / five-ounce | Exact entry | Compare separately | Different issues | Do not transfer Homestead prices |
A collector premium requires a reason beyond the date. For ordinary P/D coins, preservation can be that reason, but an optimistic numerical grade is not evidence. The small MS63-to-MS65 guide difference also makes selling and certification costs relevant.
For silver Proofs, use the 2015 90% silver specification rather than the .999 standard introduced in the later annual silver Proof program. The separate five-ounce product has its own size, weight and collector market. A whole set’s retail price is not the value of each coin inside it.
Compare completed single-coin transactions with the same design, mint, finish, grade and surface status. Keep a suspected error uncleaned and photograph both sides, edge and the feature. The surface-identification guide explains why polishing can undermine an otherwise useful comparison.
Summary
Identify the design, then P/D or the exact San Francisco collector product. Ordinary 2015 quarters are clad; silver Proofs and five-ounce coins are separate. An unfamiliar detail needs evidence before receiving an error premium.
FAQ
Which designs are on 2015 quarters?
Homestead, Kisatchie, Blue Ridge Parkway, Bombay Hook and Saratoga are the five America the Beautiful designs for 2015.
Why does a 2015 Saratoga quarter say 1777?
1777 refers to the historic British surrender represented by the design. The coin’s issue year is 2015.
Are 2015-S quarters always silver?
No. Separate San Francisco regular collector strikes, clad Proofs and 90% silver Proofs exist.
Is there a normal 2015-W V75 quarter?
No. The W/V75 collector-circulation combination belongs to 2020, not 2015.
