Description

Produced at the Denver Mint, the 2017 (D) Frederick Douglass National Historic Site Quarter is part of the America the Beautiful Quarters 2010-2021 series. The Denver Mint struck 185,800,000 Frederick Douglass quarters dated 2017. 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 shows Frederick Douglass seated at a writing desk, with his Washington, D.C., home behind him. Inscriptions: FREDERICK DOUGLASS, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, 2017 and E PLURIBUS UNUM. The site preserves the final home of the renowned abolitionist who escaped slavery to become one of the most influential voices for human rights. Effigy Mounds (IA), Frederick Douglass (DC), Ozark Riverways (MO), Ellis Island (NJ), and George Rogers Clark (IN) were honored. 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 #625521.
