The first coins in the America the Beautiful series were struck and released in 2010. The program is scheduled to run through 2021, and will eventually celebrate people, places, and moments in American history representing each of the 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and the nation’s five territories.
Each coin available in this product listing has been given an MS69 grade from the PCGS, indicating that each has its full, original luster. However, each coin may have a maximum of two detracting flaws, contact marks, or blemishes, with none visible in the coin’s primary focal areas. Although not a proof coin, these coins do have a deeply-mirrored, proof-like finish reminiscent of proof coins.
The final coin struck in the 2014 series, these coins represent Florida’s Everglades National Park. The Everglades cover 1.5 million acres of sawgrass and mangrove forests in Southern Florida. American crocodiles, panthers, frogs, shellfish, and turtles are some of the many creatures found in the park.
On the reverse side of each coin is the image of an anhinga bird standing on its perch, while a spoonbill is hunting in the waters in the background. The obverse side of each coin features President George Washington’s left-profile portrait used on all of the nation’s quarters.
The United States Mint uses coining presses at the Philadelphia Mint and San Francisco Min to help produce the America the Beautiful coin series.
