Description

A quarter from the Denver Mint, the 2017 (D) Ellis Island National Park Quarter belongs to the America the Beautiful Quarters 2010-2021 series. The U.S. Mint produced 254 million examples, making this ranked 14th of 15 mint variants by mintage, with 12% of 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 from each state and territory. The reverse depicts an immigrant family approaching Ellis Island with the hospital building in the background. Ellis Island processed over 12 million immigrants from 1892 to 1954 who came seeking a new life in America. Effigy Mounds (IA), Frederick Douglass (DC), Ozark Riverways (MO), Ellis Island (NJ), and George Rogers Clark (IN) were honored. Frederick Douglass was the first non-site coin, honoring the abolitionist at his Washington D.C. historic site. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $1 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, weighing 5.67 grams, 24.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #625515.
