One of the most remarkable nature sites in the world is Arizona’s Grand Canyon. The massive gorge is the result of the forces of water and time, exhibiting how the Colorado River cut a path through solid rock over millions of years. The stunning image of the Grand Canyon is featured on the 2010 5 oz ATB Grand Canyon Silver Coin, available now from JM Bullion.

The America the Beautiful coin series celebrates America’s natural beauties and significant moments from history. The series was introduced in 2010 with the Grand Canyon Silver Coin, and will conclude in 2021. In total, 56 coins will be struck. Each one will feature a unique reverse image honoring a moment, monument, or park in America from each of the 50 states, the nation’s federal district, and the five American territories.
On the reverse side of this coin is the image of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Encompassing 1.9 million square miles, the park’s main attraction of the Colorado River is featured on this side of the coin. The obverse features the common imagery found on circulation quarters. President George Washington’s iconic left-profile bust is surrounded by engravings of “United States of America,” “Liberty,” and “In God We Trust.”
Each coin available through this product listing is in near-perfect condition, which means the full, original luster is still visible. There may be a maximum of two detracting flaws, blemishes, or contact marks visible on the coin, but they are located outside the primary focal areas. The DM designation means that although each coin is a bullion version, it has a deeply-mirrored appearance.
The United States Mint strikes its America the Beautiful coins using a special coin press constructed in and delivered from Germany in 2009.
