The America the Beautiful Quarters Program was authorized by Congress under the America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008. Beginning in 2010, the United States Mint began issuing five quarter-dollar designs annually, each representing a national park or federal site from a different state, territory, or district. Alongside the standard circulation quarters, the Mint produced larger 5 oz silver versions intended for collectors and bullion buyers, struck with higher standards and available in both burnished and Specimen finishes.
Chickasaw National Recreation Area, located in Sulphur, Oklahoma, holds the distinction of being one of the oldest federally protected areas in the country. Originally established in 1902 as Sulphur Springs Reservation and later redesignated as Platt National Park, it was merged with Arbuckle Recreation Area in 1976 to form the current recreation area. The site is recognized for its natural mineral and freshwater springs, making it unique among the national parks represented in this series.
The Philadelphia Mint, designated by the "P" mint mark, has operated continuously since 1792 and is the oldest operating mint in the United States. Its role in producing Specimen-finish versions of the America the Beautiful series reflects its historical place as a facility associated with high-quality numismatic production.
The obverse of this coin features the classic portrait of George Washington originally designed by John Flanagan for the 1932 quarter, updated with minor modifications over the decades. The inscriptions "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the year 2011 appear in their standard positions around the portrait. The large 5 oz format gives the obverse design a presence that the standard circulation quarter simply cannot replicate.
The reverse depicts a scene from Chickasaw National Recreation Area, showing a bison standing near a stream with trees in the background. The composition captures the natural character of the Oklahoma landscape and was designed to reflect the recreational and ecological significance of the site. Inscriptions on the reverse include "CHICKASAW," "OKLAHOMA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "QUARTER DOLLAR," along with the standard mint mark.
As an NGC SP70 Specimen, the coin was produced using specially prepared dies and planchets, resulting in a finish distinct from standard bullion strikes. The Specimen finish combines highly polished fields with frosted design elements, producing a sharp visual contrast that enhances the clarity and depth of the imagery. The result is a technically precise coin with a refined aesthetic that sets it apart from burnished or standard bullion versions of the same design.
Every coin in the America the Beautiful series is struck by the United States Mint under strict production standards, with metal content, weight, and purity subject to federal oversight. The 5 oz format is struck to .999 fine silver specifications and carries the full authority of a U.S. government-issued coin. That foundation alone provides a strong basis for authenticity, but third-party certification adds an additional layer of verification.
NGC has examined and encapsulated this coin in a tamper-evident holder, certifying its condition as SP70 and confirming no post-mint flaws are present under standard grading conditions. As an authorized NGC dealer, we handle certified products with the care appropriate to their grade and slabbed condition, and the NGC certification number can be independently verified through the NGC registry. This graded status eliminates ambiguity about condition and gives buyers a standardized basis for comparison across the market.
This coin is certified by NGC at the SP70 grade, the single highest designation available for a Specimen-finish coin. SP70 indicates a perfect strike with no contact marks, hairlines, or surface imperfections visible under 5x magnification. Once graded, the coin is sealed in NGC's proprietary sonically welded plastic holder, which protects the surface finish from post-certification handling and environmental exposure.
Because this is a graded and encapsulated coin, standard packaging descriptions for raw bullion do not apply. The NGC slab itself serves as the protective container, and each coin is delivered individually in that certified holder. The tamper-evident encapsulation means the coin arrives exactly as graded, with no ambiguity about condition or surface integrity.
Pricing for this coin reflects both the intrinsic silver content of 5 troy ounces at .999 purity and a meaningful numismatic premium tied to its NGC SP70 certification. The spot price of silver establishes a baseline, but the certified grade, low population of SP70 examples, and Specimen finish all contribute to a premium that can diverge significantly from standard bullion pricing. Unlike generic silver rounds or bars, the collector premium here is driven by scarcity of the specific grade rather than format alone.
Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured to be transparent rather than obscure. The bid/ask spread displayed on our product page gives buyers a clear picture of both the acquisition cost and the current resale value, which is especially relevant for a numismatic item where the spread can shift as market interest and NGC population data evolve.
The 5 oz America the Beautiful series has a dedicated collector base, and NGC SP70 examples represent the top of the grading hierarchy for this series. Coins graded at this level are tracked within NGC's census data, and population reports directly influence how the market prices individual examples. A low SP70 population typically supports stronger demand from collectors seeking registry-quality pieces.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell within the same platform. This matters especially for numismatic coins where liquidity depends on finding a buyer who recognizes and values the certified grade. Our buyback pricing accounts for current market demand and provides a clear, accessible channel for customers who decide to sell without navigating third-party marketplaces independently.
This coin occupies a distinct position at the intersection of government-issued silver bullion and certified numismatic collectibles. The U.S. Mint backing provides legal tender status and a guaranteed 5 oz silver weight, while the NGC SP70 Specimen certification addresses condition and authenticity with the highest level of third-party verification available. For buyers who want large-format silver with a numismatic dimension, this combination is difficult to replicate through generic bullion products.
The Chickasaw design is one of the earlier entries in the America the Beautiful series, which gives it established collector recognition compared to later issues. The Specimen finish further distinguishes it from the burnished bullion version of the same coin, appealing to buyers who prioritize visual quality and technical production standards alongside metal content.
We have been operating in the precious metals space since 2010, and our approach has always centered on transparency rather than pressure. Our pricing reflects real market conditions, and the bid/ask spread on each product page gives buyers the full picture of what they are paying and what they can expect when they decide to sell. For a numismatic product like an NGC SP70, that kind of pricing clarity matters more than it does for generic bullion.
We are an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, which means we handle certified products with an understanding of grading standards, holder integrity, and population data. 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 consistent track record across both the bullion and numismatic sides of the market. Every product we carry is verified before it reaches a customer, and our customer support team is equipped to answer questions specific to the product you are purchasing, not just general market questions.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing, which is particularly valuable when evaluating a certified numismatic coin where premiums can shift with NGC population changes, collector demand, and broader silver market conditions. Rather than relying on static list prices, Pro members see pricing that reflects actual wholesale market activity in real time, giving them a more accurate basis for comparing acquisition costs against current liquidation values.
The platform also includes proprietary research and comparison tools that allow members to evaluate products using metrics such as historical premiums, spread tightness, and liquidity data. For a coin like this one, where the numismatic premium above silver spot is a significant part of the total cost, understanding how that premium has moved historically and how it compares to similar certified issues provides a more complete picture than spot price alone can offer.

Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, or bank-connected payments through Plaid for direct account transfers.
