America's history has never been so richly colored. Accomplished using the latest in illustration techniques, these quarter-dollars display not only patriotic pride but also pride in America's scenic natural side. Embossed with different shades, the illustrations on each quarter-dollar have been rendered to be more vivid and more lifelike than ever before. Featured landscapes include the Grand Canyon in Arizona, Yosemite National Park in California, and the Gettysburg National Park in Pennsylvania, as well as lesser known landmarks, like the Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas, Chickasaw Oklahoma, and the White Mountain Forest in New Hampshire.
Available in sets of 5 each, these quarter-dollars arrive secured in a formal blue gift box.
Sets are available according to completed mint year, from 2010 up to 2014.
Originally released as part of the U.S. Mint's America the Beautiful quarters program, these coins have been colorized in order to transform them into one-of-a-kind collector's items that dramatically depict the greener hotspots of American heritage. Starting in 2010 and continuing until 2021, the U.S. Mint will release 56 different varieties of quarter-dollars, with each piece depicting a separate scene from nationally protected lands in every state and territory.
