Why order this 2018-S Silver America the Beautiful Cumberland Island Quarter From Limited Edition Silver Proof Set?
The America the Beautiful Quarters Series has been taking collectors and non-collectors on a numismatic tour of the country since the series began in 2010. This Cumberland Island Silver Proof Quarter is a part of that series, as well as part of the US Mint's annual Limited Edition Silver Proof Set. The coin is perfect for collectors who love the great outdoors. It was struck at the San Francisco Mint from 6.25 g of .900 fine silver and bears an "S" mint mark on the obverse.
Exquisite Snowy Egret Design by Donna Weaver
President George Washington's portrait by John Flanagan, which has been appearing on America's quarters since 1932, features on the obverse. He is flanked by a pair of inscriptions, "LIBERTY" and the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST." Rim inscriptions offer the coin's country, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," and face value, "QUARTER DOLLAR."
Donna Weaver created the reverse design, which was sculpted by Don Everhart. A snowy egret stands ready to take flight from a branch near the edge of a salt march. A rim frame encircles the image. In that frame are four inscriptions, including the park's name, "CUMBERLAND ISLAND," and the state that it represents, "GEORGIA."
Flawless PF70 UC FDI with Mercanti Signed Blue Label
The experts at Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) certified that this coin is flawless as seen under 5x magnification by awarding it their highest grade, Proof 70. They also credited it for having particularly sharp contrasts between heavily frosted devices and deeply mirrored fields by labeling it Ultra Cameo. Finally, they indicated that the piece was submitted for grading through an exclusive process by designating it First Day of Issue. This information comes on a blue label that was signed by former US Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti.
