Utah is not viewed by many as a must-see tourist destination, but the Arches National Park in the eastern region of the state draws 1.04 million visitors each year. The region features some of the most impressive natural formations, captured brilliantly on the 2014 5 oz ATB Arches Silver Coin, currently available from JM Bullion.

- Issued a $.25 (USD) face value by the federal government.
- Given a Mint State 69 grade from the Professional Coin Grading Service.
- Available with a proof-like finish.
- Ships in a PCGS plastic slab.
Arches National Park consists of 76,679 acres of land in and around Moab, Utah. The Colorado River snakes through the park, which contains more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches. The Delicate Arch is a world-famous feature in the park, but all arches were formed in similar fashion. The entire park lies above an underground evaporate layer, creating the spires, arches, and balanced rocks.
The America the Beautiful coin series celebrated its fifth year of production in 2014, unveiling five new coin designs to commemorate moments and monuments from across America. The series will run through 2021, highlighting all 50 states, five territories, and the District of Columbia.
On the reverse side of the coin is a depiction of Delicate Arch, with the barren landscape of the park visible all around it. Engravings include “Utah,” “Arches,” and “E Pluribus Unum.” The obverse bears the image of President George Washington, featured in a left-profile bust as created in 1932 by John Flanagan.
Each coin in this listing is available with an MS69 grade from the PCGS. These coins have their full, original luster, and no more than two detracting flaws, blemishes, or contact marks. The proof-like finish on the coin creates a unique appearance for a bullion product.
These coins are all produced by the United States Mint at either its San Francisco or Philadelphia facilities.
