2018-S Silver Apostle Islands Quarter Reverse Proof NGC PF70 First Day of Issue w/Trolly Label
U.S. Mint’s First-Ever Reverse Proof Quarter
The United States Mint in San Francisco began producing proof coins in 1968, and to mark its 50th year of minting America’s “best of the best” in 2018, the mint released a FIRST-EVER set of 10 stunning Reverse Proofs — including eight coins never before issued in this distinctive finish! These coins were never available individually from the Mint, but now you can get one of these fabulous coins!
Wisconsin’s Entry In The America The Beautiful Quarters™ Program
We recently came across a small hoard of certified quarters from this set, and they have all the bells and whistles. In this offer you can get the 2018-S Silver Apostle Islands Reverse Proof Quarter. This was the Wisconsin entry and 42nd release in the U.S. Mint’s America the Beautiful Quarters™ program. It was among five ATB quarters released in 2018, joining Michigan, Georgia, Minnesota and Rhode Island as the Mint’s First-Ever Reverse Proof Quarters! Reverse Proofs are the opposite of regular Proof coins in that instead of featuring frosted details rising over mirror-like fields, they boast mirror-like details majestically rising from beautifully frosted fields.
Perfect Proof From The First Issued
Each Apostle Islands Quarter was struck in highly pure 90% fine silver and comes graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 (PF70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proofs have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has certified that these proofs are First Day of Issue (FDI) coins, meaning that they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. Each coin will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a San Francisco Cable Car label.
About Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands
The state of Wisconsin is perhaps best known for its world-famous football team, the Green Bay Packers, and its rich German heritage. What is often overlooked, though, is its stunning natural scenery. One area that is particularly beautiful is the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Consisting of 21 islands and a stretch of shoreline at Wisconsin’s northern tip, the area includes cliffs, sea caves, beaches, marinas, and trails. It is home to such diverse wildlife as black bears and bald eagles. The design on this coin depicts the sea caves of Devils Island and a lighthouse standing in the distance.
A must-have for any U.S. quarter type set, don’t let this fabulous coin get away! This coin is highly coveted by collectors everywhere, so step to the front of the line and click it to your cart right now!
