2013 PCGS MS-69 DMPL First Strike 5 oz America The Beautiful White Mountain Silver Coin

The America The Beautiful Quarter Program made its numismatic debut in 2010. In its first year, the US Mint issued five coins, each weighing 5 troy ounces of 99.9% pure silver, featuring iconic American parks, monuments, and forests. 

The series continued at this pace until 2021, culminating in 56 silver coins in total.

The White Mountain Coin is the first release of the 2013 edition and the 16th overall in the series. 

The White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire and Maine is renowned for its unique and stunning landscapes. As one of the most visited national forests in the U.S., it offers a wide range of recreational activities and rich natural resources. A key highlight is Mt. Washington, the tallest peak in the northeastern U.S. and east of the Mississippi River. Designated a national site in 1918, it remains a beloved spot for outdoor adventurers.

A PCGS MS-69 DMPL “First Strikes” Coin

Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) works independently of sovereign mints. It evaluates and grades coins using the Sheldon Grading Scale, which rates coins from 1 to 70 according to their condition.

PCGS calls “First Strikes” the coins purchased from the original mint within the first 30 days of the official release and submitted to its appraisal.

MS stands for Mint State. Mint State coins are shaped as business coins. Grade 69 is attributed to coins whose flaws are almost invisible.

According to PCGS, DMPL stands for Deep Mirror Proof-Like and refers to coins struck for circulation but with unusual mirror-like fields and frosted design details that are very similar to Proof coins.
