2018-P Voyageurs National Park 5-oz Silver America the Beautiful Specimen PCGS SP70 FS Mercanti Signed
Celebrating Some of the Midwest’s Natural Beauty
The state of Minnesota goes by many titles; “The North Star State,” “The Land of 10,000 Lakes,” and “The Gopher State” just to name a few. But the state is also a land of extreme natural beauty. One area that is particularly beautiful is the Voyageurs National Park. With more than 40% of the park made up of water, Voyageurs is a literal maze of interconnected water highways. The park was established in 1975 and today thousands of visitors each year enjoy canoeing, kayaking and camping in its pristine wilderness. Now, this third issue of 2018 in the America the Beautiful series celebrates the area with this five ounce silver Voyageurs National Park coin. And to make it even more spectacular, the special label sealed inside the coin capsule was personally signed by John Mercanti, the U.S. Mint’s 12th Chief Engraver!
- THE LATEST IN THE "AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL" SERIES – This 2018 five ounce Silver Voyageurs National Park coin is the third issue of 2018 and the 43rd overall in the America the Beautiful series, which began in 2010.
- STUNNING NATURAL SCENERY – The design features a common loon – the state bird of Minnesota – with a rock cliff and majestic trees in the background. It also displays the words “"VOYAGEURS," "MINNESOTA," "2018" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM." The word “voyageur” is French for “traveler,” and it was French travelers who were among the first Europeans in Minnesota. These pioneers traveled throughout the state’s waterways trading furs with Native Americans.
- A SERIES OF FIRSTS – Each coin in the America the Beautiful series was struck at the Philadelphia Mint from 99.9% fine silver. These are the largest ever quarter coins struck, measuring three inches in diameter.
- UNITED STATES LEGAL TENDER – Each America the Beautiful coin is twenty-five cents legal tender in the United States.
- GRADED IN PERFECT SPCIMEN CONDITION – Your coin has been graded by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) to be in perfect Specimen-70 (SP70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded coin will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended! In addition, it has been encapsulated in a special acrylic holder that includes a unique flag label.
- SIGNED BY A GIANT OF THE COIN WORLD – Your coin has also been signed by John Mercanti, the U.S. Mint’s 12th Chief Engraver. He personally signed the special label that has been sealed within the coin capsule!
- FIRST STRIKE ISSUE – The 2018 Voyageurs National Park 5-oz Silver America The Beautiful Coin has also been certified as a First Strike (FS) by PCGS, meaning that your coin was among the first struck by the mint and was verified within the first 30 days of issue.
The America the Beautiful series has proven extremely popular since it began back in 2010. For those who have been collecting from the start, each release has provided a new and exciting way to discover and appreciate all that America has to offer. The Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota is a perfect example of a coin that presents collectors with a scene of America’s natural beauty that would likely be overlooked otherwise. Although the America the Beautiful collection is considered bullion, its five releases every year mean that each new release is only available for so long, so add this perfect Specmen-70 First Strike 2018 five ounce Silver America the Beautiful Voyageurs National Park coin personally signed by John Mercanti to your collection before it’s too late!
