It's the Gettysburg quarter. In hand I must say that I like the design on this one. The reverse is a little busy, but I like it. Actually, there is a tremendous amount of detail on this coin. I expect the detail, being as fine as it is, will wear away very quickly in circulation.

I wonder how many of these they will mint? I know the US territory quarters are almost never seen, I always check my change for them.

-Edited, silly me originally called the Reverse the Obverse. The reverse is busy, not so much the obverse we all know so well.

Congratulations, I'm still waiting to see my first one. Of course I'm still waiting on four of the Territory quarters.

I've only seen 4: 2 hot springs, 2 yosemites, nothing else. Had to roll-search/buy the rest of them.

I've seen only a sporadic few of all the 2010 releases. Not a single 2011 parks quarter yet found in circulation.

I got mine straight from the Philadelphia Mint when I went for a visit.

I found my first back in February- it was the yellowstone or yosemite or something. In a roll.

I was roll hunting today, and found a BU Yosemite and Mount Hood. They're gorgeous! I also found an AU Virgin Islands.

I've seen a few and I Like the fact that they did these. Enough of a challenge for collectors, but too much for a lot of people so they will collect for a while and then spend them when they are short a few dollars.

bought rolls of the Gettysburg quarters only cause the grandson and I go there every year. Couldn't find the around Gettysburg though. I have both of the Grand Canyon and one Yosemite that I found in circulation ofter searching about 250 rolls. Our local banks won't even request them for me. Looks like I will have to get the missing ones from shows.
