2017 PCGS MS-69 DMPL First Strike 5 oz America The Beautiful Silver 5-Coin Set

The America the Beautiful Quarter Program was first released in 2010. Each year, the US Mint struck 5 different designs in both clad quarters, and on 5 Troy ounce silver coins of 99.9% fine silver.

The US Mint produced 56 designs for the program until 2021, featuring distinctive reverse designs showcasing America’s iconic parks, monuments, and forests.

In 2017, the series depicted in its silver coins the following sites: the Effigy Mounds National Monument, the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, the Ellis Island, and the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park.

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.
