Description

The 2016 (D) Shawnee National Forest Quarter is a quarter from the Denver Mint, belonging to the America the Beautiful Quarters 2010-2021 series. The Denver Mint struck 151,800,000 Shawnee 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 Camel Rock with native vegetation and a red-tailed hawk. Shawnee National Forest encompasses over 280,000 acres featuring dramatic sandstone bluffs and the unique Garden of the Gods wilderness area. 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 #597033.
