Juliette Gordon Low Quarter: Value, Mintage and Errors
The 2025 Juliette Gordon Low quarter is worth 25 cents in circulated condition. 330,600,000 were struck, 200,400,000 at Philadelphia and 130,200,000 at Denver. It was released on 24 March 2025.
What this coin looks like
Tom Hipschen's reverse shows Low in a Girl Scout uniform and campaign hat, wearing the Silver Fish award on a ribbon. The trefoil badge at the left is the Girl Scout emblem of her era, the eagle-and-shield trefoil.
Her name appears in a handwritten-style script rather than the block lettering used elsewhere in the series, and the inscription naming her as founder runs the full width of the upper field. Eric David Custer sculpted it.
The reverse inscriptions read:
- FOUNDER of GIRL SCOUTS of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA
- Juliette Gordon Low
- QUARTER DOLLAR
- E PLURIBUS UNUM
The obverse is the same on all 20 coins in the series: George Washington facing right, with LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, the date and the mint mark. The mint mark is to the right of Washington's neck, below the date. P is Philadelphia, D is Denver, S is San Francisco and appears only on proof and collector issues.
Is my Juliette Gordon Low quarter an error?
No error or variety unique to this coin is documented in the grading-service and variety sources this site checks. That is the normal situation: only five of the 20 designs (Sally Ride, Wilma Mankiller, Edith Kanakaʻole, Bessie Coleman and Mary Edwards Walker) have a documented error or variety.
What people most often bring to this coin are the three claims that attach to every coin in the series: a faint G in IN GOD WE TRUST (not an error, it is the typeface), flat shiny doubling on the lettering (machine doubling, not a doubled die), and small raised lumps from die chips. The errors page has nine tests that separate a genuine mint error from damage, and the short list of errors that are actually documented in this program.
What is it worth?
| Found in change | 25 cents |
|---|---|
| Uncirculated, from a Mint roll or bag | $1 to $2 |
| Certified mint state | A few dollars, rising to roughly $86 at the top of the population for the series |
| Clad proof (S mint) | Typically less than the cost of grading it |
| Silver proof (S mint, .999 fine) | A floor set by the silver price, plus a small premium |

How many were made
| Philadelphia (P) | 200,400,000 |
|---|---|
| Denver (D) | 130,200,000 |
| Total | 330,600,000 |
| Rank in the series | 8 of 20 by mintage, lowest first |
| San Francisco (S) | Not published by the Mint |
San Francisco (S) figures are not shown because the Mint has never published per-design mintages for S-mint American Women Quarters. Any S figure published elsewhere is a secondary-source estimate, and the two most commonly cited sets contradict each other.

Who was Juliette Gordon Low?
Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon was born in Savannah, Georgia, on 31 October 1860, into a prominent family split by the Civil War: a Confederate officer father and a mother from a Chicago family of Union sympathies. An uncle called her Daisy and the name stuck for life.
She lost most of the hearing in one ear to a chronic infection treated with silver nitrate. At her 1886 wedding to William Mackay Low, a thrown grain of rice lodged in the other ear; removing it punctured the eardrum and left her effectively deaf on that side too. She spent the rest of her life partially deaf, a fact she generally refused to let limit her and occasionally used to her advantage in conversation.
Her marriage was unhappy and her husband died in 1905 before their separation was finalized. She was 44, widowed, childless and without obvious purpose, and she said so plainly in letters.
In May 1911 she met Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, at a party in London. She started Girl Guide groups in Scotland and London, then sailed home. In March 1912, in Savannah, she gathered 18 girls into the first two American Girl Guide patrols. The telephone call she is said to have made to a cousin that night, announcing that she had something for the girls of Savannah and all America and all the world and they were going to start it that night, is the founding story the organization still tells.
The name changed to Girl Scouts the following year. At the first National Council meeting on 10 June 1915 she was elected founding president. She funded the early organization substantially from her own money, including selling her pearls.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1923 and told almost no one, continuing to work. She died in Savannah on 17 January 1927, aged 66. She received the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously in 2012, during the Girl Scouts' centennial year.
She was selected as the founder of an organization that has enrolled tens of millions of American girls, built in her forties after she had concluded her useful life was over.
