Concluding a 4-year, 20 coin series, the United States Mint today releases the 2025 Althea Gibson quarter in new products for collectors.

 |
The quarter dollar is offered in 100-coin bags, two-roll sets, and three-roll sets, each containing circulation-quality coins produced at the buyer’s choice of the Philadelphia, Denver, or San Francisco Mints.
This launch marks the final release in the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarters™ Program, which began in 2022 and has featured five unique designs annually. Each coin has honored an American woman whose achievements advanced the nation in fields such as suffrage, civil rights, abolition, government, humanities, science, space, and the arts.
Althea Gibson was a groundbreaking multisport athlete who achieved numerous firsts in both tennis and professional golf. As a trailblazer on the international stage, she became a symbol of American excellence and shattered racial barriers, paving the way for future generations of Black athletes. By the late 1950s, Gibson had captured 11 Grand Slam titles, including multiple victories at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, and the French Open.
Althea Gibson Quarter Designs
The reverse (tails side) of the new quarter features Althea Gibson standing confidently on a tennis court, poised beside the net with a racket in one hand and a ball in the other, as if preparing to begin a match. Inscriptions on the reverse read "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "ALTHEA GIBSON," "QUARTER DOLLAR," and "TRAILBLAZING CHAMPION."
The design was created by U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program artist Don Everhart and sculpted by Mint medallic artist Renata Gordon.
All quarters in the series share the same obverse (heads side) featuring a portrait of George Washington. The image was originally created by artist Laura Gardin Fraser to commemorate Washington’s 200th birthday in 1932. Although Fraser’s design was recommended at the time, Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon chose the now-familiar portrait by John Flanagan instead.
Obverse inscriptions include "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "2025."

Orders for the new quarter dollar rolls and bags can be placed through the U.S. Mint’s online catalog.
American Women Quarters Program
Authorized by Public Law 116-330, the U.S. Mint launched the American Women Quarters Program in 2022. Running through 2025, the series includes 20 distinct designs celebrating the accomplishments and contributions of women in American history.
2025 quarters recognize:
- Ida B. Wells — Investigative journalist, suffragist, and civil rights leader
- Juliette Gordon Low — Founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA
- Dr. Vera Rubin — Pioneering astronomer known for her groundbreaking work on galaxy rotation
- Stacey Park Milbern — Disability rights advocate and co-founder of the disability justice movement
- Althea Gibson — Trailblazing athlete and the first Black player to compete in international tennis
In addition to circulation-quality rolls and bags, these quarters appear in the U.S. Mint’s clad and silver proof sets, holiday ornaments, and uncirculated coin sets. Althea Gibson quarters from the Philadelphia and Denver Mints were also distributed into general circulation through the Federal Reserve Bank system.

The 27 liberty designs suck. One member asked them to go back to the drawing board. The eagles for this have a few ok designs. Both of the native American reverse designs would pair well if one was the obverse. I think someone misinterpreted the term illegal alien with one design, LOL. See the pic below.

How about a snake with the Donald’s head on it? But I digress.
That’s Brilliant, Antonio, IT REALLY IS.., Ben Franklin was an originator of the the segmented snake, representing the State, that led to the ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ – Movement..,
That led to less than 10% of the populace that had guts and backbone, to step up, and started to drive results, that led to Independence..,
So Yes, let’s do it! Bring back common sense to numismatic designs….
That coin would go well with the proposed Trump silver dollar that you’ve been fawning over lately.
Sharkie,
Thanks for sharing. However, for me, it is plainly obvious that the mint is despite for design subjects and they are completely and totally out of their freeking teets.
Maybe they should take a break for a while and let history progress before designing any more coins. Especially with the “Liberty” metal. Seriously……WTH……..Nutter Ville
Shark2th, the bottom two designs are Tlingit artworks! The Tlingits are Alaska Natives. Their artworks (drawings/carvibg) are called Formlines. Their art is absolutely gorgeous! It is known all over the world! I have a lot of Alaskan Artworks. It’s my favorite art. I also have three Walrus Tusks and I’m white. If you’re white, there’s only two types of tusks I can own. If the tusks are fossilized they’re legal and if they aren’t fossilized they MUST have Alaska Native carvings, etching etc. and it has to be registered then a white person can own it. I have two fossilized… Read more »
Thanks AKBob. I recognized the artwork but did not recall the tribe associated with it. Your comments are quite interesting. As a collector, I collect lots of things in addition to coins. I do go arrowhead hunting a time or 2 every year and have a small collection. My parents garden area used to turn up a point every now and then. I do like that style of artwork. I did not like the one they chose for an obverse. I found the two reverse selections were more recognizable as native American art and would make a nice pairing on… Read more »
Either a coincidence or a stolen idea…
That’s what the committee said too.
Wow, those representations of Liberty are ugly. Does the mint send a stick with the coin so you can beat it later?
I’d hope so. You may need a metal bat. The wolf and Pegasus would be nice on something, but probably not the liberty series. One member made a comment at the meeting this is not a flora and fauna series. That should tell you you need a flora and fauna series. That would sell, this crap won’t. I don’t like the hippie looking text. Some committee members seem to be oblivious to who would be willing to buy the poor designs, especially on a high dollar gold coin.
Why don’t they just recycle some of the earlier classic designs from some of our master artisans? There certainly are a lot of designs available to use.
Pretty good analysis, sharks. I agree that Pegasus and the wolf are probably the best. The last obverse in Group 2 isn’t horrible. She has a Peace Dollar vibe.
As I always say, a Stella tribute 1z Au reverse Gobrecht Eagle…. I know rear view but, but…..
STELLA!!!!
Gobrecht Eagle – Hear that Mr. Hollis – let’s get it on!’
Know your customer base – drive to your customer base!
Start driving results!
You can’t be serious! These designs are hideous to say the least.
The bald head and bald eagle seem like a match. This would be the most hilarious coin ever. And not in a good way.
Super Freak
Flowing Hair – Not – Seriously Desprit. Is this what we want to celebrate on our coinage?
If they had some in-sight they would put this on a coin.
How about Karaline Leavitt, a real American Woman – with Hair and a brain. Now that is Liberty.
Yes Sir.., that is Liberty, that is America!
There ya go…, do you SEE HOW SIMPLE that was, we’re done!
There’s your 2027 American Liberty Obverse!
Done.Dot.Com!
AND Abolish the clown circus known as the CCAC & CFA!
Hard pass. I like at least the veneer of honesty and truth with my Liberty. Perhaps she could appear on the “Noble” Peace Prize.
Thanks Shark, fuguly is too kind. WTF more like it. The alien is that real or spoof….? Cags on board!
Also, why do most of the obverses look PISSED OFF!? Maybe cause they realize the design(s) pretty much stink, month old trout under seat stink….
No JQC, you’re wrong – they are overly pissed off, because – they had leave an ICE protest to audition for the 2027 Liberty Coin and found out, that’s there’s no quick pay out and they’re going to have to go get a REAL job because the life of easy handouts that you’ve been affording them.., after all, you live in Extravagant Hawaii, so you should pay more.., is over.., so that’s why they look they way they do…. And back to Portland, LaLaLand.., Chicago.. Unfortunately.., this crap ends up on our high-end numismatic offerings… ___________ The “pretty much stink,… Read more »
That alien looking design is real. If that got approved, the US would get laughed out of the coin of the year contest. Maybe this is a way for the government to admit extraterrestrial aliens exist and prepare the world for their public exposure and assimilation into the world societies. We all know extraterrestrials and Bigfoot/Sasquatch are real and the government is protecting them – Hahaha.
There’s Something In Roswell – Saxon ‧ 2024
Nice Dr Who reference Rich
I paint, and fancy myself an artist somewhat, this Alien is loco. Cut and paste,,leather jacket, maybe a Hells Angel Liberty.
Put it in a Coin!
Liberty and Freedom.
Thanks E 1, Dreams I’ll Never See…
Has a Harley ever been on a coin? You may be on to something, E1. Nothing says American Freedom like a big-ass HOG.
It might have some potential.
Yesterday was the largest daily Increase in GLD in History.
Today was the largest daily Decrease in GLD in History.
Today loss was Down $25.91 or a loss of 6.4%.
My one day loss on GLD was $10,364.00.
Similar historical moves for Spot Gold over the last two days. Today was the largest daily decrease in spot gold price in history, down $231.40 (or a loss of 5.31%); however, the greatest single-day spot gold price drop in history percentage wise was on 4/15/2013 when it fell by approximately 9% (and the price fell by about $145). And today, the Spot Silver price fell -$3.70, which is relatively small compared to the greatest one-day drop in spot silver which occurred on “Silver Thursday,” March 27, 1980, when the price crashed by 63.6% and the price dropped -$9, from $20… Read more »
It looks like you’re in for some more pain today, as Au is down $92 to $4038. We shouldn’t be surprised as nothing goes straight up forever.
Mr. Unsers’ – my last post is labeled as ‘spam’ and a resend is awaiting approval?
Can you please provide some guidance to posting, so I can avoid that in the future please?
Thank ya much!
Finding strong support at $48 (at least for 12 hours.., Does it hold?
Then pop right on up to 55…, Which I so can’t drive, so onwards to 61?
Or flounder like a mudcat on a bottom of a john boat making our heads hurt.., at $42?
Personally, if I had a ‘ BU must buy’ on my list.., I’d watch it straggle that $4,050 line closely, and it was available, pull the trigger…,
It wouldn’t screw around in this market; yesterday, dealers jacked the premiums on silver, and the stuff still flew off the shelves..,
LBMA London Fix for Gold – Going into today: $4,254.775
Over to Cali for the dissertation on its implications..,
And how I, as a buyer of Hotlegs.., it’ll only cost me more of an arm and a leg…. 😉
_____________
I vote Karoline Leavitt for the Observe of the 2027 American LibertyCoin., and she’ll (the coin) will cost me $7,000, in 2027.., so if you don’t have $7,000, for her, you don’t get a vote! So your opinion doesn’t matter…. Have a Great Day! 🙂
✓
Since, you’re transfixed KC on “Hot Legs” and seemingly concerned about it costing you and “arm and a leg”, shouldn’t you refer to her as “Venus de Hot Leg”? Let me get this right, you’re voting for Ms.Leavitt to “look” at or observe the 2027 American Liberty? Why? Actually, the LBMA London Fix for Gold – Going into today is: $4,255.29. PS Be glad Venus de Hot Leg isn’t costing you 2 breasts, as I know you absolutely hate flat chested women!
Super Power Hotleg de Nevus que le monde n’a jamais connu, ni vu auparavant. It was real funny, until the PS – that’s poor form, no need for that, I have good friends that have, or are undergoing, chemo, and beauty is always within.., and they are such Amazing people that I wish all Americans could catch a clue about the importance of life, health, and liberty.., I’m surprise you went there with me, given you understanding of AKBob, so you’re just trolling me.. ? Out here, we (or I) make a distinction, on how we’d prefer to spend, what… Read more »
KC, my mistake, as I thought you were one of the peeps, previously disappointed and commenting on the Wonder Woman design not being stacked or having been shrinkflated. Hence the chest cost vs arm and a leg, my bad. Nothing more nothing less intended. I wholeheartedly agree with, “beauty is always within”. You said: “ AND Abolish the clown circus known as the CCAC & CFA!” Remember they vote on designs versus render them. Their votes were responsible for 3 Gold Coin of the Year Awards(COTY for the 2019, 2021 and 2023 American Liberty coins, and they are asking for… Read more »
I take Sinead over anyone with the letters L-I-E in both their first and last names. Sorry, but your opinion really doesn’t matter on this one.
Levitt, Trump on coins, and they say Dems drank the Kool aid …..
Truth.
