The 2011 5 oz America the Beautiful Vicksburg silver coin is a large-format silver coin struck by the United States Mint as part of its America the Beautiful series. Composed of .999 fine silver and weighing five troy ounces, the coin carries a face value of twenty-five cents and is recognized as legal tender under United States law. Its size and silver content make it a substantial piece both physically and in terms of intrinsic metal value.
This example has been certified by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and assigned a grade of MS69 with a Prooflike (PL) designation. That combination places it among the finest certified examples of this issue, reflecting both a near-perfect strike and mirror-like surface characteristics typically associated with specially prepared or early-run production pieces. We carry certified coins like this as part of our broader commitment to offering graded numismatic material alongside standard bullion.

We carry certified coins like this as part of our broader commitment to offering graded numismatic material alongside standard bullion.
The America the Beautiful Quarters Program was authorized by the America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008. Beginning in 2010, the United States Mint began releasing a series of quarter-dollar coins honoring national parks and sites across the country, with five new designs issued each year. The companion five-ounce silver bullion coin program mirrors those designs but in a dramatically larger format intended to appeal to both collectors and silver buyers.
Vicksburg National Military Park, located in Mississippi, was designated as the subject of one of the 2011 issues. The park commemorates the Siege of Vicksburg during the Civil War, a campaign that played a pivotal role in the Union's control of the Mississippi River. Its inclusion in the series reflects the program's broader mission of honoring historically significant places across the United States.
The five-ounce silver versions of these coins were initially released in both bullion and collector finishes. The bullion versions were distributed through authorized purchasers, while the collector burnished versions were sold directly by the Mint. The program generated significant collector interest, particularly in the early years, and certified high-grade examples like this PCGS MS69PL have remained sought after by numismatists tracking the series.
The obverse features the familiar portrait of George Washington originally designed by John Flanagan and first introduced on the quarter dollar in 1932. The portrait is rendered in sharp relief, with inscriptions reading "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the year of issue surrounding the design. At this size, the detail in Washington's profile is notably pronounced compared to the standard quarter.
The reverse depicts the USS Cairo, a Union ironclad gunboat, navigating the Yazoo River near Vicksburg. The design, created by sculptor Don Everhart, captures the vessel amid the natural setting that defined the campaign. Inscriptions include "VICKSBURG," "MISSISSIPPI," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and the denomination, with the required designations for silver content also present on the edge of the coin.
The Prooflike designation assigned by PCGS reflects highly reflective field surfaces that give the coin an appearance closer to a proof than a standard business strike. This surface quality, combined with the coin's five-ounce format, creates a visually striking piece with exceptional depth and contrast between the devices and the mirrored background fields.
Every five-ounce ATB silver coin carries edge lettering that includes the coin's weight and purity, along with "E PLURIBUS UNUM" repeated around the perimeter. This feature serves as both a design element and a built-in authenticity indicator, as accurate edge reeding and lettering at this scale is difficult to replicate. The United States Mint produces these coins under rigorous quality standards, and the .999 fine silver content is guaranteed by the issuing authority.
PCGS certification adds another layer of authentication. Each PCGS-graded coin is examined by experienced numismatists, assigned a numeric grade, and encapsulated in a tamper-evident holder that preserves the coin's condition and confirms its authenticity. We are an authorized PCGS dealer, which means our customers have access to graded material with full confidence in the certification that accompanies each piece.
This coin has been graded MS69 by PCGS, placing it in the near-perfect tier of the Mint State scale. MS69 coins exhibit full luster, a sharp strike, and only the most minimal imperfections when examined closely under magnification. The Prooflike (PL) designation further indicates that the fields display mirror-like reflectivity consistent with specially prepared surfaces or early production strikes, enhancing the visual quality of an already high-grade piece.
PCGS-certified coins are delivered in the hard plastic slab in which they were encapsulated at the grading service. The slab displays the assigned grade, Prooflike designation, coin description, and a unique certification number that can be verified through the PCGS registry. No additional handling or repackaging occurs after certification, and the slab itself protects the coin from contact damage during storage or transit.
The base value of this coin is anchored to the current spot price of silver, which fluctuates continuously with market conditions. Because the coin contains five troy ounces of .999 fine silver, the spot component alone represents a meaningful portion of its total price. However, this is a certified numismatic coin rather than a straight bullion piece, and its PCGS MS69PL grade introduces a premium layer that extends beyond the intrinsic metal value.
Numismatic premiums on graded ATB five-ounce coins reflect several variables: the specific issue within the series, the grade and designation, population data from the PCGS registry, and collector demand for the series at any given time. The Prooflike designation narrows the eligible population further, since not all MS69-graded examples receive that surface qualifier. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and accounts for both the silver spot component and the numismatic value associated with the certified grade.
Five-ounce ATB silver coins occupy an interesting position in the market because they straddle bullion and numismatics. At the bullion level, five ounces of .999 fine silver is a straightforward proposition that any dealer or exchange familiar with United States Mint products can recognize and price. The numismatic component, driven by the PCGS MS69PL grade, adds a collector dimension that can influence resale value relative to raw or lower-graded examples.
We operate as a two-way marketplace, meaning customers can sell back silver coins through our platform using competitive buyback pricing. Understanding both the acquisition cost and the likely resale value before purchasing is something we actively support. Our platform is designed to give buyers a clear view of both sides of a transaction so that liquidity is never an afterthought.
This coin represents a convergence of silver bullion weight and certified numismatic quality that is not easily replicated by standard silver rounds or bars. The five-ounce format delivers meaningful silver content in a single piece, while the PCGS MS69PL grade signals that this particular example finished near the top of its production run in terms of quality and surface preservation. For collectors building a certified ATB set, the Prooflike designation adds a distinction that separates this example from the broader MS69 population.
The Vicksburg issue is among the more historically evocative designs in the ATB series, and its subject matter resonates with Civil War history collectors and numismatists alike. Certified examples in MS69PL are not found in large quantities, making this a less common variant of an already limited series. Whether the priority is silver content, numismatic quality, or the specific historical subject depicted, this coin delivers on multiple fronts simultaneously.
We are an authorized dealer for both PCGS and NGC, which means we handle certified numismatic coins through channels that maintain the integrity of graded material. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and memberships in the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and the National Coin and Bullion Association (NCBA) reflect a long-standing commitment to professionalism and customer trust. These are not credentials we cite casually; they represent the standard we hold ourselves to across every transaction.
Our pricing model is built around transparency. Spot-driven pricing, real-time market conditions, and visible bid/ask spreads are central to how we present products. We do not operate as a high-pressure sales environment, and our goal is to give buyers the information they need to make confident, informed decisions. That includes being upfront about premiums, resale considerations, and what each product represents in the broader market. With graded numismatic silver like this PCGS MS69PL example, having that context matters.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across precious metals products, including graded silver coins like this ATB Vicksburg issue. Rather than relying on estimated retail values, Pro members can view real-time wholesale pricing that reflects actual market conditions on both sides of the transaction. For a certified coin that carries both a bullion component and a numismatic premium, understanding how that premium behaves over time relative to the underlying silver spot price is valuable context that our platform provides.
Pro also includes proprietary research tools that allow members to compare historical premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics across products. For graded numismatic material, where premiums can shift meaningfully based on collector demand and registry population changes, having access to objective pricing data rather than anecdotal estimates creates a more complete picture of what a product is worth and how it trades in the current market.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make the buying process straightforward and secure. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, and paper check. Cryptocurrency payments are also accepted through BitPay for customers who prefer that option.
Each payment method is integrated into a secure transaction environment, and the checkout process is designed to be clear and efficient from start to finish. Whether purchasing a single graded coin or building out a larger position in certified silver, the payment infrastructure is built to support confident, hassle-free transactions at every step.
