2010 America the Beautiful Washington Quarter

About This Coin

The 2010 America the Beautiful Washington Quarter is a United States quarter from the America the Beautiful Quarters 2010-2021 series — the first year of the series. In 2010, coins were struck at the Denver, San Francisco, and Philadelphia Mints with a combined mintage of 364.1 million. This ranks 3rd of 12 years by total mintage, below the series median of 1.5 billion. The obverse features George Washington facing left, based on a 1786 bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon and the reverse displays unique designs featuring national parks and sites from each state and territory. Inaugural year featuring Hot Springs (AR), Yellowstone (WY), Yosemite (CA), Grand Canyon (AZ), and Mount Hood (OR). Strong collector enthusiasm drove high first-year demand for both circulating and silver proof versions. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, 24.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Produced 9 years before the celebrated 2019 key date. Across its variants, estimated values range from $0 to $25 depending on mint mark, grade, and strike type. A notable auction result reached $1.5K in MS67 grade at eBay. Designed by John Flanagan (obverse) / various reverse designers.
