Description

The 2016 (D) Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Quarter is a quarter minted at the Denver Mint, within the America the Beautiful Quarters 2010-2021 series. The Denver Mint struck 424,000,000 Harpers Ferry quarters dated 2016. 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. The reverse depicts John Brown's Fort, the armory fire engine house from his 1859 raid. Harpers Ferry sits at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers and witnessed pivotal events including the largest Civil War surrender of Federal troops. Shawnee (IL), Cumberland Gap (KY), Harpers Ferry (WV), Theodore Roosevelt (ND), and Fort Moultrie (SC) were released. The Harpers Ferry design depicting John Brown's Fort was historically significant. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $0.25 to $1 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, weighing 5.67 grams, 24.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #597039.
