An almost perfect quarter

In addition to the MS69 business strike Sacagawea $1 that I wrote about recently, I also added an MS69 business strike National Parks Quarter to my 21st Century Type Set. As of now, it is one of only two MS69 business strike quarters graded by either NGC or PCGS in the National Parks Quarter series (2010-present). Gilbie's 2011-P Olympic Quarter is the only other.

The coin features the Chickasaw National Recreation Area in central Oklahoma. The obverse is the classic John Flanagan bust of Washington, while the reverse portrays a bridge and forest of superb detail offset by satiny fields and a flock of 6 birds. The design is encircled by descriptive text, as is the style of all of the National Parks Quarter reverses.

You can see the full size photographs in my 21st Century Type Set. Below is a cropped compilation photo.

Happy collecting, and enjoy your weekend everyone!
