Description
The 2016 (P) Cumberland Gap National Park Quarter, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, is part of the America the Beautiful Quarters 2010-2021 collection. The U.S. Mint produced 215.4 million examples, making this ranked 10th of 15 mint variants by mintage, with 9% of production. 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 a frontiersman gazing westward through the historic natural passage. Cumberland Gap served as the primary gateway for westward migration, with over 300,000 settlers passing through on their way to Kentucky and Tennessee. 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. The Philadelphia Mint, America's oldest coin-making facility, has struck coins continuously since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $0 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 #597035.
