The Bombay Hook Silver Coin is the fourth strike of the 2015 edition and the 29th in the series.

It hosts migrating ducks, geese, shorebirds, and neo-tropical songbirds in their spring and fall migrations between Canada and the Gulf of Mexico. The area includes freshwater pools, swamps, upland forests, agricultural fields, and one of the most extensive unaltered tidal salt marshes in the Mid-Atlantic region.

An NGC MS-69 DPL “Early Releases” Coin

Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) works independently of sovereign mints, evaluating and grading coins using the Sheldon Grading Scale, which rates coins from 1 to 70 according to their condition.

For NGC, “Early Releases” refer to coins purchased from the original mint within the first 30 days of their official release and taken 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.

DPL refers to a deep proof-like finish, describing coins whose fields are deeply mirrored and resembling proof coins but are actually bullion coins.
