2020-P SALT RIVER BAY NP AND ECOLOGICAL PRESERVE 5OZ SILVER ATB SP70 FR MERCANTI SIGNED LABEL

LIMITED MINTAGE OF 13,750 WORLDWIDE!

The America the Beautiful Series continues to take collectors on a numismatic tour of the United States with this Salt River Bay NP and Ecological Preserve, which is located in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The coin makes a beautiful standalone piece for those who are concerned with conservation, as it features an endangered red mangrove tree. It also works as part of a collection of America the Beautiful piece. The coin's specimen finish distinguishes this coin from the bullion issue, as does the inclusion of a "P" mint mark.

Exquisite design:

Richard Masters designed and Joseph Menna sculpted the reverse design. A red mangrove tree stands in the middle of a body of water. The image is encircled by a rim frame that bears four inscriptions, including "SALT RIVER BAY" and "U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS."

The obverse features John Flanagan's famous 1932 portrait of President George Washington. The design, which has been appearing on American quarters for nearly a century, is flanked by the inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST." "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "QUARTER DOLLAR" are inscribed along the rim above and below the effigy, respectively.

Flawless SP70 First Release with Mercanti Signed Label

Former US Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti hand signed the label on which Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) provided its grading information. This coin received the highest grade, Specimen 70. Specimen describes coins that have some characteristics of proofs and some characteristics of business strikes, while 70 means that the coin appears perfect as seen under 5x magnification. The coin was also certified First Releases, which means that this piece was submitted for grading no more than 30 days after its initial release from the mint.
