2011 NGC MS-69 Early Releases 5 oz America the Beautiful Gettysburg Silver Coin

The initial success of the America The Beautiful Quarters Program’s premiere led to a second edition of its unique silver coins. 

The US Mint released this five-ounce silver coin series in 2010 and ran it until 2021, delivering 56 silver coins showcasing America's most iconic national parks, monuments, and forests. 

The second strike of the America The Beautiful Quarters Program began with the Gettysburg Silver Coin, the first release of 2011 and the sixth in the series. 

Gettysburg Military National Park is in Pennsylvania. This park is home to the 72nd Pennsylvania Infantry Monument, which marked the Union Army's battle line in the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War.
