Description from the seller
An impressive large-format piece! This is a massive 5-ounce silver coin from the USA, minted in 2011, from the famous “America the Beautiful” series. This motif honors the Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania.
------------------------------
1. Exact description of the coin
* Obverse: In the center is the world-famous portrait of [George Washington], the first President of the United States, shown in profile looking left. The design is based on the classic portrait by John Flanagan.
* Obverse legend: At the top is the issuing country “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” To the left is the word “LIBERTY” and to the right the national motto “IN GOD WE TRUST.” At the bottom the denomination is indicated as “QUARTER DOLLAR.”
* Reverse: The detailed motif recalls the historic Civil War battle of Gettysburg in 1863. It features in the center the 72nd Pennsylvania Infantry Monument. In the finely matte background there is a historic battlefield building nestled among fences and trees. In the foreground rests a cannon.
* Reverse legend: At the top is the name of the park “GETTYSBURG.” Vertically on the left is the state “PENNSYLVANIA” and on the right the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” In the bottom center is the mint year 2011.
* The special feature: Although the obverse formally states “Quarter Dollar” (25 cents), this is not the small circulating coin but the gigantic 5-ounce bullion and collector’s version in XXL format.
2. Technical data
* Material: .999 fine silver (99.9% pure silver).
* Weight: A staggering 155.52 grams (exactly 5 troy ounces of fine weight).
* Diameter: 76.2 mm (over 7.6 cm wide and 4 mm thick).
* Mint: Since there is no mint mark visible on the obverse, this is the official bullion variant of the United States Mint, traditionally minted in Philadelphia.
* Edition: 126,700 specimens.
3. Condition and valuation
* Condition: The coin is in excellent, pristine “proof-like” Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition. The interplay of the highly mirrored fields in the background and the satin-matte reliefs (especially on the Washington side) creates a fantastic proof-like impression. The piece is perfectly preserved in its original round acrylic capsule.
* Market value: The value of this coin consists of two components: the pure metal value of the silver (currently around €330 melt value) plus a noticeable collector’s premium. As one of the first and most popular motifs from the 2010-launched “America the Beautiful” series, demand in the trade remains consistently high.
