2020 America the Beautiful Quarter 5-oz Silver Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park NGC MS69 First Releases

Vermont’s Majestic Forests Stand Tall on This America the Beautiful Coin

The U.S. Mint’s celebrated America the Beautiful Quarters® series continues its epic run in 2020 with the release of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park Quarter struck as a gigantic coin in five ounces of highly pure 99.9% silver! Measuring an incredible 76.2 mm in diameter, this coin is nearly twice the size of an American Silver Eagle!

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 Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont is a perfect example of a coin that presents collectors with a scene of America’s beauty that would likely be overlooked otherwise. It depicts a young girl planting a Norway spruce seedling. The design is meant to be symbolic of the life cycle of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park’s forest with the youngster a representation of a conservationist working to maintain a sustainable forest.

The Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont is the only national park dedicated to telling the story of conservation history and the evolving nature of land stewardship in America. The coin pays tribute to a series of three owners of the land. It was the boyhood home of George Perkins Marsh, one of America’s first conservationists. It was later purchased by Frederick Billings, who established a progressive dairy farm and created a managed forest system there. Finally, it was owned by Billings’ granddaughter, Mary French Rockefeller and her husband Laurence. The Rockefellers continued the conservation practices there before donating the land to the federal government.

Each coin available in this offering has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC)as being in near-perfect Mint State-69 (MS69) condition, a distinction that means these almost-flawless coins will showcase impressive full strikes and indistinguishable imperfections — well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series. In addition, NGC has certified that these America the Beautiful Quarters are First Releases (ER) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of their release. Collectors seek out First Releases coins because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later.

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 Five Ounce Silver Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park coin to your collection now before it’s too late!
