You’ll Go Batty For the First America the Beautiful Coin of 2020
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. For some, that means searching through pocket change for each new release. This may be a fun piece of nostalgia, but it also means acquiring a coin that’s nicked up and otherwise damaged through circulation. Now you don’t have to sift through the candy wrappers and paper clips in your pocket to find this year’s quarters — we’ve done all the work for you!
We’ve managed to rescue a small hoard of the first ATB coin of 2020, the National Park of American Samoa Quarter meant for circulation and had them certified and graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), one of the world’s leading third-party grading services! And here’s the good news: Each coin available in this offer has been graded by NGC in stunning Choice Uncirculated Mint State-64 (MS64) condition! Plus, NGC has certified these quarters to be First Releases (FR) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of its release.
What’s also key to note about these coins is the inclusion of a very unique privy mark. In tribute to 2020 being the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, the U.S. Mint released a limited mintage of 2020 Quarters struck at the West Point Mint directly into circulation. These coins are not only significant for their “W” mintmark but are especially distinctive for a “V75” privy mark that commemorates the milestone anniversary of the war’s end in 1945. The mark appears just to the left of George Washington’s chin on the coin’s obverse. It is extremely unusual for a U.S. coin to have a privy mark — especially a circulating U.S. coin. In fact, this is first time the U.S. Mint has ever struck quarters with a special privy mark! Each coin available here will also come encapsulated in an acrylic holder with an exclusive World War II 75th Anniversary Victory Day label.
The U.S. Mint released these special quarters only into the general circulation of banks across the United States, so tracking down coins that can achieve high Mint State grades will be quite difficult. Just think about how many of these coins will be unceremoniously dumped into change jars and piggy banks without so much as a glance to see if they have the mint mark – it’s a true circulating rarity from the U.S. Mint that you’ll want to add to your personal collection!
ABOUT THE NATIONAL PARK OF AMERICAN SAMOA QUARTER: Located in the South Pacific Ocean more than 2,500 miles southwest of Hawaii lies American Samoa, a U.S. territory that consists of seven islands and atolls. There, you’ll find the National Park of American Samoa, a lush tropical paradise spread across 13,500 acres — 4,000 of which are underwater — that preserves and protects coral reefs, rainforests and fruit bats. In fact, the National Park of American Samoa is the only park in the United States that is home to the Samoan fruit bat.
This privy marked National Park of American Samoa Quarter is one of five America the Beautiful Coins that will be issued in 2020 meaning it will be available only for so long. The grade and luster of coins like these will only decline further while they remain in general circulation. Add one to your collection now before it’s too late!
