It carries .999 fine silver content and a face value of 25 cents, making it legal tender issued under the authority of the United States government. This particular example has been certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Company and assigned a grade of MS69 with a Proof-Like designation, reflecting a coin struck with exceptional surface quality and strong mirror-like reflectivity.
We carry this coin as part of our broader offering of certified United States Mint issues, where graded condition and provenance matter as much as metal content.

At five troy ounces, it occupies a distinct position between standard one-ounce bullion and larger collector formats, appealing to buyers who prioritize numismatic quality alongside silver content.
The America the Beautiful series was authorized by the America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008. Beginning in 2010, the United States Mint began releasing five-ounce silver bullion versions of each quarter design, honoring national parks and historic sites across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories. Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania was among the earliest releases, issued in 2011 as part of the second year of the program.
Gettysburg National Military Park holds significant historical weight as the site of one of the defining battles of the American Civil War in July 1863. The park preserves the battlefield landscape and serves as a national memorial, making it a culturally resonant subject for a commemorative coin. The United States Mint's decision to include it in the series reflected both its historical prominence and its standing as one of the most visited national parks in the country.
The five-ounce silver format distinguished these coins from their circulating quarter counterparts, and the early years of the series, including the 2011 Gettysburg issue, attracted considerable attention from collectors drawn to the combination of American history and large-format silver production from a government mint.
The reverse of this coin features a detailed engraving of the High Water Mark monument at Gettysburg, a granite marker at the site of Pickett's Charge during the Battle of Gettysburg. The design captures the monument's stone relief and surrounding landscape, conveying a sense of place and historical gravity. Inscriptions include "GETTYSBURG," "PENNSYLVANIA," "2011," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM," with the quarter dollar denomination noted as well.
The obverse presents the classic portrait of George Washington originally designed by John Flanagan for the Washington quarter, accompanied by "IN GOD WE TRUST," "LIBERTY," and the date. At five ounces and three inches in diameter, the coin provides far greater visual real estate for design detail than standard silver coin formats, allowing the engraving to register with much greater depth and resolution.
The Proof-Like designation assigned by NGC indicates that the coin's fields exhibit strong mirror-like reflectivity typically associated with proof production quality, even though it was struck using standard bullion production processes. This surface characteristic gives the coin a polished, high-contrast visual quality that distinguishes it from typical bullion-finished strikes of the same issue.
This coin was struck by the United States Mint, one of the oldest and most respected government mints in the world, to exacting standards for silver content and dimensional consistency. At .999 fine silver, it meets the purity threshold common to internationally recognized silver bullion products. The five-ounce weight specification is verified as part of both the original minting process and the NGC certification.
NGC is one of the two leading third-party numismatic grading services in the industry, and we are an authorized NGC dealer. Certification by NGC involves independent authentication, grading, and encapsulation in a tamper-evident holder that locks the coin in a sealed, sonically bonded slab. The MS69PL grade reflects a coin that exhibits near-perfect strike quality with only the most minimal imperfections allowable at that tier, combined with the Proof-Like surface quality previously described.
Because this coin is certified and encapsulated by NGC, its authenticity, grade, and metal content have been independently verified and are not subject to ambiguity at the point of resale or transfer. For buyers who prioritize documentation and third-party assurance, certified coinage from a government mint provides a strong baseline for confidence.
This coin is certified MS69 Proof-Like by NGC, meaning it grades just one point below a perfect MS70 and was evaluated to exhibit sharp, well-defined strike characteristics with no more than a few minor, scattered contact marks visible under magnification. The Proof-Like designation further distinguishes this example within the MS69 population, indicating that its reflective fields and frosted design elements approach the visual quality typically associated with proof coinage.
As an NGC-certified coin, it ships encapsulated in NGC's standard tamper-evident slab, which protects the coin from handling, environmental exposure, and surface contact. The slab itself serves as both a display format and a protective housing, and no additional handling of the coin is required or recommended. The certification label inside the holder displays the coin's grade, designation, and a unique NGC certification number that can be verified through the NGC registry.
The base value of this coin is anchored to the current spot price of silver, given its five troy ounces of .999 fine silver content. However, the certified MS69PL grade introduces a numismatic premium that moves somewhat independently of spot price fluctuations, reflecting collector demand, population report data from NGC, and the relative scarcity of high-grade Proof-Like examples within the series.
Early-year America the Beautiful five-ounce coins, particularly those from the 2011 Gettysburg issue, have historically commanded premiums above their raw silver equivalents due to the series' collector following and the relatively limited original mintages. The Proof-Like surface characteristic further narrows the population within the MS69 tier, which tends to support a tighter supply of certified examples at this specific grade and designation. Our pricing reflects both live silver market conditions and current numismatic market activity for this specific certified coin.
Five-ounce America the Beautiful coins are recognized in both the bullion and numismatic collector markets, which broadens the potential buyer pool relative to purely numismatic issues with no intrinsic metal content. The five-ounce silver content provides a measurable floor tied to silver spot prices, while the NGC certification and grade create additional value for buyers focused on condition and registry completeness.
We operate as a two-way market, meaning customers can sell certified coins back through our platform rather than navigating the resale process independently. The liquidity of a specific certified coin depends on factors including current silver market conditions, NGC population data, collector demand for the America the Beautiful series, and the MS69PL designation within that population. We display bid and ask pricing on our product pages to give buyers a clearer picture of both acquisition cost and current resale value before committing to a purchase.
This coin occupies a specific and well-defined position within the certified silver coin market. It combines substantial physical silver content with third-party graded numismatic status, meaning it functions both as a silver holding and as a collectible item within an established United States Mint series. The Gettysburg reverse design carries genuine historical significance, and the 2011 issue represents one of the earliest releases in the series, which tends to hold appeal for collectors building complete sets.
The MS69PL grade represents a meaningful distinction within the Gettysburg five-ounce population. Proof-Like examples at the MS69 tier are not commonly encountered, and buyers seeking a high-condition, visually striking example of this issue will find this certification tier more aligned with display-quality ownership than a standard bullion-finished or lower-grade example would be. For buyers who want documentation, encapsulation, and a clearly defined grade alongside their silver content, this certified format delivers all three.
We have been operating in the precious metals space since 2010, and our approach has always centered on transparency rather than pressure. As an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, we are positioned to offer certified coinage with confidence in the authenticity and grading standards behind each piece. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and memberships in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect a sustained commitment to ethical business practices and professional standards.
Our pricing is structured around real-time market conditions and displayed transparently on each product page, including the bid/ask spread so buyers understand both what they are paying and what the current resale picture looks like. We do not layer in hidden fees or obscure the cost structure behind marketing language. For certified coins like this one, where numismatic premiums add complexity beyond simple spot-based pricing, that transparency matters even more. Our two-way market model means you are not left searching for a buyer when it is time to sell.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a wide range of products, including certified silver coins like this one. For a coin where the premium above spot is influenced by NGC population data, collector demand, and Proof-Like designation scarcity, having visibility into real-time wholesale pricing allows for a more precise evaluation of whether current market conditions represent a favorable entry point. Members can also track portfolio valuations using live wholesale bid prices rather than estimated retail values, which provides a more grounded view of current liquidation value.
Beyond pricing, Pro members have access to proprietary research tools that allow products to be compared across the broader catalog using metrics such as historical premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity characteristics. For collectors and buyers navigating a market as nuanced as certified five-ounce America the Beautiful coins, objective data is a meaningful advantage over relying on listing prices alone.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make the purchasing process straightforward and secure. Buyers can complete transactions using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each payment path is handled through a secure transaction environment designed to protect buyer information and facilitate reliable order fulfillment.
The flexibility in payment options reflects our broader philosophy of removing friction from the buying experience. Whether you prefer the convenience of a credit card or the cost efficiency of a wire transfer, we have structured our payment infrastructure to accommodate the way different buyers prefer to transact.
