A familiar face to many appears on today’s release from the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarters™ Program – the 2025 Juliette Gordon Low quarter.
 |
 |
Struck in circulation quality, the new coin is available in 100-coin bags, two-roll sets, and three-roll sets, with options from the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints.
This release marks the seventeenth design in the U.S. Mint’s four-year, 20-coin quarter series honoring the accomplishments and contributions of women in American history. The first quarter of 2025 featured journalist and activist Ida B. Wells, with the final three designs scheduled for release later this year.
Juliette Gordon Low is best remembered as the founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA. Born on October 31, 1860, in Savannah, Georgia, she spent her early years immersed in the arts and dedicated to helping others. She married William Mackay Low in 1886, though the union proved unhappy.
While living in Europe, she met Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, whose work inspired her to create a similar organization for girls in America. Upon returning to the United States, she laid the groundwork for what would become the Girl Scouts of the USA. Under her leadership, the group grew steadily and contributed to national efforts during World War I by supporting food conservation, aiding the Red Cross, and participating in other wartime initiatives.
Low eventually stepped down from her U.S. post as head of the organization to focus on expanding the Girl Scout movement internationally. She died of cancer in 1927 at the age of 66 in her hometown of Savannah.
Juliette Gordon Low Quarter Designs
A likeness of Juliette Gordon Low appears on the reverse (tails side) of each new quarter, shown alongside the original Girl Scout Trefoil, which she designed and patented.
Inscriptions include "JULIETTE GORDON LOW," "FOUNDER of GIRL SCOUTS of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM." The reverse was designed by U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program artist Tom Hipschen and sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Eric David Custer.
Appearing on all quarters in the series, the obverse (heads side) features Laura Gardin Fraser’s portrait of George Washington, originally intended for the 1932 quarter honoring the 200th anniversary of his birth. Obverse inscriptions read "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "2025."

A heads up for any of you out there, that are direct US Mint purchasers of gold products. Tomorrow the mint will be raising prices on all gold products based on the weekly average being between. $3.000 to $3,049.99. So you’ll see a $50 increase on 1oz products, $25 on 1/2oz, $12.50 on 1/4oz and $5 on 1/10oz. The 4 coin set goes up by $92.50 and commemorative individual coins up by $12.25. I’m not sure, however possibly a drop back down in price($1,495) on the American Palladium Eagles? Cag you always have been the wizard on calculating weekly price… Read more »
Thanks Cali, a little steep, but the APdE is interesting. A lot cheaper than before but still a 50% premium to spot. I have never had luck reconnoitering the mint’s hidden #$…. On point will we really see these circulating? I got 2 2024s all year. Rolls except for mint your a PIA @ banks, etc.
I guess my timing on the four-coin set was better than I thought.
Also, it appears NC has made your meme game even stronger, Cali. Not just lol but LMAO at that hamburger picture.
Cali, stepping in here for Cag, it looks like tomorrow’s pricing for the American Palladium Eagles should remain at $1,545. Here are the LBMA Palladium (PM) prices:
3/19/25 = $963.00
3/20/25 = $947.00
3/21/25 = $957.00
3/24/25 = $955.00
note: 4-day average price = $955.50; Today, 3/25/25 LBMA closing price not available yet, but spot price is around $955.
Thanks Rich for the data. Based on the numbers, definitely no change on tomorrow’s APdE pricing. I’m contemplating p/u a 2024 W Uncirculated AGE for down the road. Just can’t predict however, how many the Mint produced out of the 13,000 limit? I know many don’t put any stock in low mintage wonders, however I like the lower mintage products and eventually there should be a payoff? Only time will tell? One low mintage wonder coin I picked up from the mint and still really like, is my 2018 W 1/2 PF AGE. That coin, as best I can tell… Read more »
Hard to say Cali, fhe burnished gold don’t have big leg$ in the aftermarket except for Au rise it seems. I always liked the 1/2z a St. Gaudens “Eagle”. I have one Pd thinking about this one but after spotting it @$1,495 I held off w a 50% premium to spot, bullion APdE are like unicorns, none to be seen except those already caught. Price too low for the mint I suspect not happy w a mere 10-20% profit and DOGE ain’t t there yet
Cali, I also like the lower mintage coins and am keeping my eye on the 2024 American Eagle Gold Uncirculated coin with latest sales = 2,852 (as of 3/24/2025) and mintage/product limit = 13,000. The lowest mintage Uncirculated AGE is the 2017, mintage = 5,800. The 2017-W Uncirculated AGE had no mintage or product limit or order limit. Initial sales were 2,080 for this coin, and sales were steady throughout the year until it suddenly sold out. Another comparison can be made with the 2023-W Uncirculated AGE with latest sales = 6,552 and a mintage/product limit = 10,000. I think… Read more »
Rich thanks for the numbers. Interesting and I’d forgotten to double check references or at least look at other sources: I used “My Coin Guides” as my source for Gold Eagle Mintages, which lists the 2018 $25 Proof at 9,204. Your source says 9,962. Then I looked at PCGS and they list it as 11,916. Ponder on what the mintage “really” is??? LOL Pretty significant spread on the numbers amongst different resources. I used to be able to track sales through mint sales reports and when I last was able to, the 2018 had the lowest. Again it may be… Read more »
Cali, The source for the 2018-W 1/2 oz Proof American Eagle Gold coin (final) last reported sales number = 9,962 (4-Coin Set = 8,147 + 1/2 oz = 1,815) is CoinNews.net “US Mint Sales Figures Through Jan. 12, 2020,” Mike Unser – January 23, 2020, which is based on the US Mint Production & Sales Figures, Numismatic Products: Cumulative Sales (the cumulative sales figures are not final and are subject to change as audited). Besides the CoinNews.net US Mint Sales reports, I use the US Mint sales/mintage figures as my primary sources. However, some of the US Mint source material… Read more »
Pretty steady trend lines in those lists. Thanks for posting.
CaliSkier-
So glad to hear you’ve moved to my neck of the woods (roughly speaking). I live about 2 hours west of you, just northwest of Winston-Salem (the town that tobacco built). Next Raleigh coin show, maybe we could meet up? I’m not a native, either, but I married one and have been here for 47 years. Maybe we can talk coins and I can give you tips on dealing with Summer in the south!
Sounds good Sam-I-am, that would be cool if we are able to make it happen. I just took a peek and a website I saw mentions the Raleigh Money Expo over June 27-29 at “Exposition Center, NC State Fairgrounds”. Definitely keep me posted as we get closer, if you intend to attend. How about you Reb, are you possibly up for a road trip? I can’t recall where you’re at, however maybe you’d also possibly be up for a meet up?
I’d love to … BUT … summer is my busy season. Weekends during that time are awful for travel. The Charlotte show fell in February. This one would be much more dicey.
Weak w/e 03/23/2025 sales…
2025 American Eagle Proof 1 oz. 1199
2025 American Eagle Proof ½ oz. 380
2025 American Eagle Proof ¼ oz. 386
2025 American Eagle Proof 1/10 oz. 1363
2025 American Eagle Proof 4-coin set 1330
How do the numbers compare to last year? Seems a sizable portion of the total sales happen in the first week.
REB,
2024 American Eagle Proof 1 oz. 1784 @ $3200.00
2024 American Eagle Proof ½ oz. 980 @ 1625.00
2024 American Eagle Proof ¼ oz. 3833 @ 840.00
2024 American Eagle Proof 1/10 oz. 4439 @ 365.00
2024 American Eagle Proof 4-coin set 3561 @ 5980.00
Wow, now that’s a collapse! 2025’s Proof Gold Eagles are shaping up to be the rarest of the rare unless things change drastically.
I would only buy American Buffalo gold.

Gibson retires from Mint Director’s position
BYE! BYE!
”Hello, Mr. Ryder, we’re going to need you to return to DC at your earliest convenience, Sir..,”.
Winds say new Director…..Eric Trump…..
I don’t know. As I recall, Ryder played some games that hacked off collectors, too. Time to end waiting rooms and 15-second sellouts; stop gauging; and mint to order for non-Congressionally approved items. Enough with the “collectors are the enemy and if they don’t like it, they can go to the secondary market” schtick. Treat us like you value our business, Mint.
Some very good points there, REB; the Ryder years weren’t exactly smooth sailing.
KC&SO,
Holy cow, Batman, let’s give this poor guy a break. After two stints at the Mint hasn’t he seen more than enough of this difficult business already? Everyone needs a rest!
The mint and designers blew it on this one—> where is the box O Thin Mints
John Q. Coinage,
When I discovered it was in fact two different companies making Girl Scout Cookies it reminded me of finding out Santa Claus didn’t exist; a real shock to the system.
Wow, could this be the beginning of the end, not just for the S.F. mint, but the US Mint as we all know it? By Paul Gilkes for Coin World: “Fate of west coast Mint could be up in the air”. Paul writes: “The U.S. Mint’s procurement authority was removed, and the Mint is now required to request DOGE approval for materials acquisition, including metals for coins. Closing the San Francisco Mint could affect the production of many numismatic products, such as Proof sets, silver Proof sets, Proof commemorative coins and Matte silver presidential medals.” Could this be the last… Read more »
Outrageous but not surprising. The last sentence in the story is telling: “All of the Mint sites — the Mints in San Francisco, Philadelphia, West Point and Denver, the Fort Knox Bullion Depository, and Mint headquarters — are codified in law.” But who cares about the law now? DOGE is the law. Why don’t we just close Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court and turn everything over to Elon? No wonder Ms. Gibson retired. There might not be a Mint by next year. Who needs real coinage when we have Musk crypto?
REB,
I read today in the magazine The Week that while gold is the ultimate safe haven the same claim cannot be made for the likes of crypto currencies. The latter’s Achilles heel is that they behave more like the stock market in regard to how they allow themselves to be affected by occasions of disruption of the economy.
Crypto a pig in a poke I would”d say, much better to even pop for US proof Au, you could get a boatload for 1 bitcoin
DOGE created by Executive Privilege no law was passed I believe….
well, the ‘old’ san francisco mint is still on 5th and mission, that’s the one that survived the big one, but it was damaged and was fairly small as demand for coins in the west boomed so they eventually built a new mint in 1937 on a hill at duboce and market, and that’s where all the proof sets, etc are made today. the old mint building is in need of restoration and is expected to reopen as a museum, but for now it is used only occasionally as an event space. plus, that’s actually the second mint building, the… Read more »
I remember visiting The Granite Lady on one of my trips to California years ago. They had a video presentation of the history of the mint building. Mercedes McCambridge, who had a husky voice, narrated the show. The most memorable line was when Ms. McCambridge growled that The Granite Lady had been “ravaged” by the earthquake.
Ah, acting from the golden age of Hollywood at its best!
I still have a bronze medal I “minted” there back in the ’70s. Good memories of my visits to the old San Francisco, Carson City and New Orleans mints.
I still have to check out Carson City.
And stop at the nearby Ponderosa in Va City. Last time I was there the Granite Lady was a hollow shell, couldn’t go inside. I skip SF these days
Clearly that was a very nice series of clearly memorable visits, Antonio. I’ve long held that here is nothing quite like travel and its attendant sightseeing to help broaden one’s horizons. By the way, I and my family of origin were rather fortunate to be able to live in San Francisco courtesy of a State Department required six month citizenship-maintaining visit there from our home at the U.S. Seventh Army Base in Stuttgart, Germany, in the fall and winter of 1959.
Regarding the Golden Age of Hollywood, I still think of the gorgeous leading ladies of that era as setting the standard for feminine beauty.
True Dat Kaiser! I see two of my favorites. Unfortunately, none of them made it to the AWQs. Some made it to US Postage Stamps though. Great picture of Judy.
So you too appreciate the timeless classic beauties of the silver screen; excellent, E 1. As for commemorating them, I don’t think they need to be celebrated on coins since their glorious looks are forever fixed in the minds of so very many admirers.
c_q,
The SF Mint is on my bucket list. So, just to confirm – Is it still possible to take a tour of the facility?
Please advise.
the ‘new’ mint on duboce? no way jose, off limits to general public sadly (if it were possible, I would have been there already). my understanding is the last public tours were done in the 1980s, and even then they were rarely done, and I didn’t move to the bay area until the 1990s so I missed out. you can gawk from the street like the rest of us, it takes up a city block and you can walk all around it. the old mint at 5th and mission is only open during occasional events and those are mostly private… Read more »
c_q,
Thanks for the reply. I’ve been here since 1973. So, I missed it big time. Obviously, it’s still operational, but like Ft. Knox Jr. Bummer. Well, there is always Witter Coin.
Thanks
oh yeah, forgot about them, looks like they moved into the old IHOP on lombard street, a block away from mels drive-in (not the original mels, nor an actual drive-in either)
Should have opened on the Curves of Lombard. When I was a kid we ate at Hippo Hamburgers I tried the peanut butter burger funky.
This isn’t the first US Mint branch to close, nor the last one. Perhaps they will expand the Denver mint and move the proof production from San Fran there. As we all know by now, higher and higher prices, lower and lower mintages. More gimmicks too. So if the latest sales of proof AGE is any indication of the trend, production machines don’t need to be run as much and consolidation of the processes is next step. What are the mint employees going to do now with much fewer orders being placed. Besides, Americans aren’t using regular circulating coins like… Read more »
East Coast,
Today, Trump just launched “USD 1.” A new US crypto currency. Backed 1:1 by US Treasuries and US Dollars. This has the potential to move us further away from physical coins and notes. I just see this as less work in the future for either of the US Mint’s Branches.

The Mints?
The FED?
Just like a debit card with no paper trail. Perfect for moving large blocks of dollars internationally, among other things. No bank required.
Another stablecoin (USDC) is coming online March 26. It will provide service to Japan, US, and EU. No bank required.

The market opens in 5 hours.
Any experts out there?
USDC (USDC) is a cryptocurrency that operates on the Ethereum platform. USDC has a current supply of 60,167,627,319.667. The last known price of USDC is 1.00 USD and is up 0.008% over the last 24 hours.
$60B already in their hopper. Apparently, it has a ticker – USDC.
Two of these now have come on-line in the last 24 hours.
This is freaking weird. Something is up.
E 1,
USDC has been around for several years.
It has just been approved for use in Japan. That’s the news. Just the approval.
Cag,
But the USD1 is new and it is backed by US Treasuries?
Correct that USD1 is new. I don’t see being backed by US Treasuries as a game changer. It’s pegged to the USD and that’s just a way of trying to keep the 1:1 ratio. IF you’re a US citizen I don’t see the need for a stablecoin. It’s not like BTC.
Looking at the current price of USD1 and it’s listed as $1.0001.
Supposedly it will be as close to $1.00 as humanly possible. IF you live in the United States you can always get $1.00 for $1.00 so I don’t see the need for a stablecoin in the US unless you are doing something nefarious.
Cag,
I’m thinking it might put demand on Treasuries. The big question is, who keeps the interest? It looks like a very cleaver risk free money making machine for someone. Yes, a utility for the financially nefarious too. Just one more thing to upset the apple cart.
Another way to separate you from your money.
a very stable coin?
sorry couldn’t resist…
p.s. let me know when i can put them in vending machines.
I would be worried about it being a “vanishingcoin.” FDIC insured; probably not.
Well, the results are in! I said on 2/16/25 regarding the auctioning of 4, 5 kilo silver Paul McCartney coins. “I’m thinking that each of these will go for $35,000+ at a minimum. However I wouldn’t be surprised at all by a range of $50-$75K for each coin?” Each of these sold for $38,400 each. I was way off on the 5 kilo Gold McCartney coin. I said: “Likely it will sell for over $1 million dollars!”. The coin sold for just $600,000 with a current melt value of approximately $486,120. Numismatic News, Coin Week, Grey Sheet all ran the… Read more »

I remember the green Julliette Low stamp that I always thought looked like Larry from the 3 Stooges.
I’ll stay on topic(the Low Quarter), more or less. I’m back home tonight from the beautiful state of NC and my wife welcomed me with a hug & kiss, and a 2025-D Juliette Gordon Low 25C piece from the 1st production run at the Denver Mint. It turns out that my wife’s boss is the great, great nephew of Juliette herself! All of Juliette’s family was invited to the Mint on the 24th to celebrate the release of the quarter. It was a big deal for them, they were very proud of her. Everyone got a tour of the D-Mint,… Read more »
That whole story is not just very interesting but also uplifting and rather exciting, Rick. I have to wonder if there was some way you could get that piece of history, family and otherwise, slabbed with the provenance of the entire Low clan gathering at a ceremony for the first run of their ancestor’s coin. That would be a coup indeed!
