2017 Quarters Released in 10-Coin Uncirculated Set for Collectors

Today, April 10, the United States Mint released its newest annual product for coin collectors, the 2017 America the Beautiful Quarters Uncirculated Coin Set™.

This collectible includes five pairs of distinct one-year-only coin designs with five quarters from the Philadelphia Mint in Pennsylvania and five quarters from the Denver Mint in Colorado. This year’s quarters honor the following sites:

• Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa,
• Frederick Douglass National Historic Site in Washington, D.C.,
• Ozark National Scenic Riverways in Missouri,
• Ellis Island (Statue of Liberty National Monument) in New Jersey, and
• George Rogers Clark National Historical Park in Indiana.

Each quarter is marked on its obverse (heads side) with a ‘P’ or ‘D’ to denote its mint of origin.

Uncirculated coins "are hand-loaded into the coining press and struck on specially burnished blanks, yet have a soft, matt-like finish appearance," the U.S. Mint’s website describes. The coins are "made like circulating coins (which are used every day as money), but with a special process that produces a brilliant finish."

All ten quarters are mounted on one folder that includes descriptions of the site commemorated, the specifications of the coins, and a U.S. Mint Certificate of Authenticity.

Ordering

Available for $12.95 without any limits, anyone can order the 10-coin uncirculated set and other quarter products from the U.S. Mint’s website, found here, or by calling 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468).
