Description

The 2011 (P) Glacier National Park 5 oz Silver Quarter is a quarter from the Philadelphia Mint, belonging to the 5 oz. America the Beautiful Silver Quarters 2010 to Date series. With a mintage of 33,000, this is a scarce issue — the lowest mintage among 5 mint variants, representing only 20% of total production. The obverse features George Washington facing left, based on a 1786 bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon and the reverse displays unique designs featuring national parks and sites — struck in 5 ounces of .999 fine silver at a massive 76.2mm diameter. The reverse depicts the northeast slope of Mount Reynolds with a mountain goat traversing the rocky slopes. Glacier National Park in Montana contains over 700 miles of trails and more than 130 named lakes. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Philadelphia's mint — the nation's first — has produced coins without interruption since its founding in 1792. Auction record: $1,535 PCGS Genuine 02-22-2019 eBay. Struck in 99.9% silver, weighing 155.5 grams, 76.2 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #507374.
