The Kisatchie National Forest ATB coin is the second design release of 2015 and the 27th coin to be issued overall in the ‘America the Beautiful’ coin program. The 5 troy ounce .999 fine silver bullion coin is issued under the authority of the Americas Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Act of 2008 and has mandated that a 5 ounce silver coin be issued alongside the traditional quarter design. Each coin in the ATB series will be minted using .999 fine silver and have a final standard silver weight value of 5 troy ounces on a 3 inch diameter planchet. The obverse of each coin in this series will depict a brilliant modern adaption of George Washington’s portrait as it appeared on the United States quarter dollar beginning in 1932. The reverse of the Kisatchie National Forest ‘America the Beautiful’ 5 oz. coin will portray a wild American turkey in flight over a field of native Blue Stem grass; towards the left background side you will also note a small grove of Long Leaf Pine trees that are another critical element of the Kisatchie National Forest.
The ‘America the Beautiful’ Program has become a wildly popular series to collect especially for the 5 ounce silver versions of each design and the offering of the Kisatchie ATB in a raw format is a highly enticing product for those wishing to easily acquire these coins without all of the premiums and overhead associated with the cost of grading and certification. If you are looking to quickly add premium quality silver to your stack or collection, then this is the offering for you! Each coin weighs in at a whopping 5 troy ounces A.S.W. to make acquisition of large quantities even easier.
