2013 Silver 5oz. Mt Rushmore ATB

The 2013 Mount Rushmore 5 ounce silver bullion coin is part of the US Mint's astonishing series: America the Beautiful. The 5 ounce coins are replicas of the US Mint's Quarter National Parks Series sets. The Mint produces 5 a year and are planning to do so until 2021, where they will only mint one for the final year. Only 35,000 of the Mount Rushmore coins were minted and have become increasingly more difficult to find. Coin collectors love this series due to the extremely low mintages and the intricate designs on each coin. This Mount Rushmore bullion coin is .999 silver, brilliantly uncirculated, and comes in a plastic capsule for protection.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is one of most beloved landmarks in the country and is based in South Dakota. It is viewed as a little bit of history that can be seen for years to come. The new 2013 Mount Rushmore coin is a dedication to the phenomenal artwork by sculptors, who risked their lives to finish the masterpiece. It is amazing that the landmark is hand-carved, taking 5 years to finish. The main sculptor died, leaving the job to his son. It is truly a family work of art. Fun fact: the initial plans were to carve each president's whole body into the granite but obviously was stopped after the faces were finished.
