About this coinHistory

The 2024-S Pauli Murray NIFC quarter, designated Not Intended For Circulation, was struck in San Francisco to a mintage of 800,000 pieces for direct sale to collectors in two-roll bags and forty-coin rolls. Pauli Murray's life work moved across law, theology, and literature with a coherence that few of her contemporaries matched. From her 1944 Howard Law graduation through her 1977 ordination in the Episcopal Church, she pressed legal and theological institutions toward a more honest reckoning with the intersection of race and sex. Murray's poetry collection "her poetry collections" and her family memoir "Proud Shoes" are part of the same project as her legal scholarship, and the 2024 quarter carries an inscription from her writing that touches on that public witness. The NIFC format gives collectors uncirculated examples without the ribbon-cut packaging or proof finish of the annual sets.

The reverse design, executed by Artistic Infusion Program artist Robert Hoge and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill, appears here in business-strike finish on planchets that never entered Federal Reserve channels. Composition follows clad standard: 91.67 percent copper and 8.33 percent nickel bonded to a pure copper core, weight 5.67 grams, diameter 24.3 millimeters, reeded edge. The S mintmark on the obverse identifies San Francisco production. Authentication on a 2024-S NIFC focuses on the uncirculated finish without proof characteristics, the correct mintmark style, and original Mint packaging where present. The absence of a satin or matte specimen finish distinguishes the NIFC from the proof issue struck at the same facility.

Population data through Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) remains modest because most NIFC examples are held raw in original Mint rolls. Original sealed Mint bags and rolls remain the most reliable source for certified gem examples, with sealing tags providing dealer-verified provenance for high-grade submissions. Series context appears in the Washington Quarters (American Women) series history.
