I think Penn. and Miss. They look different. I've seen so many mountains they all start to look the same after a while.

With so many beautiful places in this nation,and that includes Pennsylvania and Mississippi,why do we continue to commemorate battlefields on "America the Beautiful" coins? I know all about Gettysburg,I grew up 30 miles from there and it is one of my favorite towns,but why on an America the Beautiful coin? Washington and Montana have the right idea!

I'm really glad they choose to honor the Olympic NP and look forward to that coin. Having been to Gettysburg and felt the solemness of the battlefield the Olympic National Forest is completely opposite. It's primordial beauty is indescribable. That's a Roosevelt Elk and if you've never seen one, take a virtual trip to the Olympic National Park; they're a magnificent animal. It's the last remaining Temperate Rain forest in the US; and because of all the logging, perhaps North America. While I've been to Alaska, the furthest north in BC I've been is Port Albernie (sp) and Comox; so my apologies if Canada has one also.

I had to go with PA .. Just because it is Gettysburg
For me .. it is hard to know which coin design I will like best until
I have it in hand. Just saying... sometimes a picture/drawing is not enough.
I have not ordered many commemorative coin from the mint, but when I saw
them in hand I was very sorry I had not bought them.

Gettysburg is my favorite, but the first four designs are all really good. Thumbs up for the USS Cairo battleship design!  |

I voted for Washington. I do like that design the best.
I have been to all five states listed, and I have lived in three of them. Washington was probably my favourite place to live and I really want to visit there again sometime soon.

I feel foolish to ask this but how would I obtain uncirculated rolls of these? do I just go to the bank and ask for them when they are released?

I just love the "what you doing here?" face on that creature on the Montana coin!! I think every coin should have something like that!

mrh70 ... I find that curious .. why be curious asking about how to get rolls. If you are thinking it has been ask here many times .. then that may be true. But if you don't know .. you have to ask. Since the end of the State Quarter program, banks can no longer request to get boxes of each new quarter that is released, in this case America the Beautiful national parks quarters. It does seem that some members here have banks that get them, I have not been able to get a new roll of quarters in my area since 2008. I think your option are - check your banks, but good luck there. - Purchase from the mint, I think they are $32.95 for two roll set. That is how I get mine. - ebay or online stores. - There is some trading on here, but I think that is limited. - Always a chance a local coin shop or coin shows may have them. |
