2020 Quarters:Five Designs, the Bat Coin and W/V75 Marks

Identify all five 2020 America the Beautiful quarters and distinguish ordinary P/D coins from W/V75 issues, S collector strikes, Proofs and five-ounce silver products.

Quick answer

The five 2020 quarter designs are National Park of American Samoa, Weir Farm, Salt River Bay, Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller and Tallgrass Prairie. Ordinary worn P and D quarters are copper-nickel clad, with a 25-cent face-value baseline. The bat quarter is the American Samoa design, not an error simply because of its unusual subject.

2020-W quarters have a W mint mark and the V75 privy marking the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. They are separate collectible circulation issues. S regular collector strikes, clad Proofs, .999 silver Proofs and five-ounce silver coins also need their own identification and prices.

Basics & coin story

The America the Beautiful program honored national sites across states and territories. Its 2020 group followed five designs per year; the program’s final Tuskegee Airmen quarter came in 2021. A 2020 coin is therefore not the last issue simply because it is near the end of the series.

The year’s subjects connect wildlife, art and landscape stewardship. American Samoa shows a fruit bat with its young. Weir Farm depicts an artist painting outdoors near the studio. Salt River Bay uses a young mangrove; Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller depicts planting a tree; Tallgrass Prairie places a butterfly before prairie grasses.

This annual guide is a five-design checklist and version comparison. The Salt River Bay guide provides that design’s deeper identification and valuation context, while the national park quarter overview covers the full program.

Check W and V75 on the portrait side

Read the actual mint letter beside Washington and inspect the privy on the other side of the portrait. A W/V75 coin remains clad; the W does not mean silver or Proof. The additional Salt River Bay obverse photograph illustrates these marks, while its reverse shares the same design subject.

S does not settle finish or silver content

San Francisco produced more than one collector category. Separate a regular collector strike from a clad Proof and a silver Proof using the correct product and finish evidence. A five-ounce silver version is visibly larger and is not priced by a normal-quarter table.

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.

These references show why even ordinary uncirculated designs should not share one blanket price. A retail guide is also different from the amount a dealer offers for a loose coin after costs. Original set context can help identify a collector issue, but packaging alone cannot establish grade.

For a W/V75 comparison, match the design, numerical grade and surfaces. A P coin with a mark mistaken for W cannot inherit that premium. The V75 is intentional, rather than an accidental extra stamp. For the bat quarter, staining or damage near a wing or eye does not by itself authenticate a valuable mint error.

Begin by sorting design, mint, finish and condition. For claimed errors, retain full-face and edge photographs before seeking attribution. Do not clean the coin to improve a feature. The grading scale provides the general condition terminology.

Summary

Complete the five-design checklist, then identify the mint and manufacturing category. Ordinary P/D quarters have a 25-cent face-value baseline; W/V75, S and silver collector products require separate comparisons.
