America the Beautiful - Cumberland Island National Seashore 5 Ounce .999 Silver

America The Beautiful Silver Coin (ATB Coin) - Cumberland Island National Seashore

The Cumberland Island National Seashore includes 9,886 acres of protected wilderness on Georgia's southernmost barrier island. Accessible by ferry only, the park includes sandy beaches and dunes, marshes along with a number of historic sites - including buildings. The island's fascinating, and sometimes terrible, history includes Native Americans, missionaries and African slaves. 

No more than 300 visitors are allowed on Cumberland Island at a time. They may see wild horses which descended from stock brought originally by Spanish missionaries in the 1500s.  The shoreline there is also prime for nesting loggerhead sea turtles from May through October.

Money Metals Exchange now offers the 5 ounce America the Beautiful silver coin commemorating this natural treasure. The Cumberland Island National Seashore is 44th in the popular series which will ultimately include 56 different and beautiful designs.

• The coins are strikingly large and the artwork is beautiful. They will be an interesting addition to any silver holding.
• The coins are affordable with premiums similar to the American Eagle silver coin, despite lots of demand from coin collectors coupled with a limited mintage.
• Each coin carries its own unique story.

The reverse (tails) side of the coin depicts a snow egret perched on a branch and getting ready for flight. A salt marsh lies in the background. Inscribed on the reverse are the words; Cumberland Island, Georgia, 2018, and E Pluribus Unum.

The obverse carries the familiar coin portrait of George Washington - the portrait featured on current Washington quarters. The inscriptions on this side include; United States of America, Liberty, In God We Trust and Quarter Dollar.

The coins are packaged by the US Mint in tubes of 10 coins. A full Mint box contains 10 tubes for a total of 500 ounces. The weight and purity (.999 Fine Silver, 5.0 Ounce) of the coin inscribed on the coin's rim and is guaranteed by the US government.
