During the 3-day Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania, a grand total of 46,286 Americans were killed, wounded, or listed as captured/missing. The Union suffered 3,155 deaths during the battle, while the Confederacy lost 4,708 soldiers to death. Fought in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln later gave his famous Gettysburg Address here just five months after the battle.
America the Beautiful is a coin series dedicated to the places, monuments, and moments in American history that were significant in the nation’s formation and growth. A total of 56 coins will be struck before the series comes to a conclusion in 2021, with each representing a different US state or territory, as well as the District of Columbia.
On the reverse side of the coin is the image of a solitary statue that stands on the fields of Gettysburg, with a local farmhouse and the rolling hills of Pennsylvania visible in the background. The obverse features the common imagery found on the US quarter.
Each of the coins available in this product listing feature a near-perfect grade, as issued by the PCGS. An MS69 grade means a coin has its full, original luster, and no more than two blemishes, contact marks, or detracting flaws. The proof-like finish on this coin gives it the appearance of a proof coin, even though it is a bullion version.
