Description

A quarter from the Philadelphia Mint, the 2017 (P) Effigy Mounds National Park 5 oz Silver Quarter belongs to the 5 oz. America the Beautiful Silver Quarters 2010 to Date series. With a mintage of 35,000, this is a scarce issue — ranked 3rd of 5 mint variants by mintage, with 23% 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 — struck in 5 ounces of .999 fine silver at a massive 76.2mm diameter. The reverse depicts an aerial view of the Marching Bear Group, a procession of bear-shaped and bird-shaped earthen mounds. Effigy Mounds preserves more than 200 prehistoric mounds built by Indigenous Woodland cultures over 1,000 years ago. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. The Philadelphia Mint, America's oldest coin-making facility, has struck coins continuously since 1792. Estimated market value is approximately $113. Struck in 99.9% silver, weighing 155.5 grams, 76.2 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #621890.
