Connecticut’s America The Beautiful Quarter Is “Marked” For Greatness

 

The U.S. Mint’s America the Beautiful Quarters series issued from 2010 to 2021 proved to be extremely popular. For those who had been collecting from the start, each release 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 an amazing addition to the series because we’ve done all the work for you! We’ve not only managed to rescue a small hoard of the second ATB coin of 2020, the Connecticut Weir National Historic Site Quarter meant for circulation, but these beauties NEVER circulated and are available here in gleaming Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition!

 

First Quarters With A Special Privy Mark

 

What’s also significant 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’s 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!

 

The U.S. Mint released these special quarters only into the general circulation of banks across the United States, so tracking down coins still in BU condition can 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 scarcity from the U.S. Mint that you’ll want to add to your personal collection!

 

About The Connecticut Weir National Historic Site Quarter

 

Consisting of more than 60 acres of beautiful woodlands, fields and waterways, Connecticut’s Weir Farm National Historic Site has been described as a national legacy to American Impressionism, the creative spirit, and historic preservation. It’s also the only National Park Service site dedicated to American painting. Established in 1990, the site was part of property originally owned by American artist Julian Alden Weir (1852-1919), who acquired the land for $10 and a painting he had acquired while studying in Europe. Not only is Weir hailed today as the father of American Impressionism for his poetic images, but his generosity toward younger and less fortunate artists won him many admirers around the world.
