The 2019 America the Beautiful Silver Coins stand out as a remarkable tribute to the nation’s diverse history, landscapes, and cultural heritage. Struck from five troy ounces of .999 fine silver, each coin in this series is more than just a substantial piece of precious metal—it’s a carefully crafted snapshot of the American story. The 2019 lineup highlights five unique sites: Lowell National Historical Park in Massachusetts, American Memorial Park in the Northern Mariana Islands, War in the Pacific National Historical Park in Guam, San Antonio Missions National Historical Park in Texas, and the Frank Church—River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho. Each reverse design is a work of art in its own right, capturing everything from the industrious spirit of a mill girl at Lowell to the powerful imagery of American forces landing at Asan Bay in Guam. On the obverse, George Washington’s enduring profile anchors the coins in the broader tradition of U.S. coinage, tying the past to the present. Collectors and enthusiasts often appreciate the sheer scale and detail of these five-ounce coins, which allow for intricate designs that smaller coins simply can’t accommodate. The heft and presence of each piece make them particularly satisfying to hold and display, and their substantial silver content is an added draw for those who value tangible assets.
For many, America the Beautiful Silver Coins serve as more than just collectibles—they become cherished mementos that celebrate the places and moments that have shaped the country.

The uncirculated collector’s edition, with its distinctive matte finish and “P” mint mark from the Philadelphia Mint, adds another layer of appeal for those who appreciate limited mintage and official certificates of authenticity.
