White Mountain National Forest Quarter

February 12th, 2013 · No Comments · Books, Uncategorized

The United States Mint is presently minting the America the Beautiful Quarters series.  The first quarter of the series came out in 2010.  Five new designs are released each year.  The designs, on the reverse side of the quarter, depict national parks and national sites in America.  There will be one design for each state; also the District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands and Northern Mariana Islands.

The first new quarter for 2013 (the 16th coin of the series) will feature the White Mountain National Forest.  The scene on the reverse of the quarter will depict Mt. Chocorua, which is framed by birch trees.  The coin will probably be released at the end of January.  The other quarters that will be released this year are:

Ohio– Perry’s Victory & International Peace Memorial

Nevada–Great Basin National Park

Maryland–Fort McHenry National Memorial and Historic Shrine

South Dakota–Mount Rushmore National Memorial

The Manchester City Library has a wonderful collection of books on coin collecting.  For more information about coin collecting and values of your old coins please feel free to visit us.  Most of our coin collecting books are located in the Art Room on the main branch.
