You can purchase it in a bag of 100 coins or 40-coin rolls. To learn more, read our detailed description.
The Ozark National Scenic River ways Quarter is available in both a silver and gold variety. The silver variety contains 90% silver and 10% copper. The silver variety will have the “S” mintmark on the coin. The gold-plated variety is also available for collectors and will be worth about $20 to $25. These coins are not worth much unless you own a large collection of them. You can use them as you see fit, or save them to increase their value.
The reverse design of the 2017 Ozark Riverways quarter is identical to the one on the American the Beautiful coins. It features the portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan. The obverse features the words “United States of America” and “Ozark Riverways, Missouri.”
The third release of America the Beautiful Quarters in 2017 will feature a design celebrating the Ozark National Scenic Riverways in Missouri. The coin is part of the America the Beautiful Quarters(r) program, which will continue through 2021. The Mint will release 56 new quarter dollar coin designs per year. In 2017, the program will feature three coins, Effigy Mounds in Iowa, Frederick Douglass National Historic Site in the District of Columbia, and Ellis Island National Monument in New Jersey. Later in 2017, the fourth release of America the Beautiful Quarters, George Rogers Clark, and Ellis Island, will be released.
The 2016 Ozark Riverways Quarter was split in half, with Denver minting 2.1 million and Philadelphia minting 2.8 million coins. Combined, these two mints produced more than 400 million coins. This is the first Ozark National Scenic Riverways quarter to use the P mint mark. Previously, the P mint mark is located above the R in QUARTER. In addition, the mint mark was moved to the front of the coin, while Washington’s hair tie is hidden behind the coin.
The Ozark National Scenic Riverways is a national park located in southern Missouri. Its area encompasses over eighty thousand acres and three hundred and twenty square kilometers. The Ozark National Scenic Riverways was established by an act of Congress in 1964. It was formally dedicated in 1971. Since then, it has become a popular collector’s item. This commemorative coin is an excellent way to support the conservation of the Ozark Riverways.
The obverse of the 25cent coin is centered by a portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan. “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and the word “QUARTER DOLLAR” are both in a semi-circle along the rim. On the other side, “LIBERTY” flanks the portrait. Finally, “IN GOD WE TRUST” is etched in the lower right-hand corner.
The 1943 copper-alloy cent is one of the most enigmatic coins in American numismatics. The coin is believed to be the most valuable Lincoln penny. In addition, the 2017 S Frederick Douglass quarter is worth $2.50 in MS 63 uncirculated condition, and $3 in PR 65. In addition, this coin is part of the America the Beautiful quarters program. It is also available in silver and is also a silver proof quarter.
