The 2013-P Great Basin 5 oz silver coin is part of the America the Beautiful series issued by the United States Mint, a congressionally authorized program that honors national parks and historic sites across the country. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin contains five troy ounces of .999 fine silver and carries legal tender status as a quarter dollar denomination. The "P" mintmark places its origin firmly at one of the most historically significant minting facilities in the country.
This particular example has been graded SP70 by the Numismatic Guaranty Company, representing a perfect specimen strike with no post-production imperfections visible under magnification. The SP70 designation is the highest grade attainable for a specimen-strike coin and signals exceptional eye appeal, sharp detail, and an untouched surface. We carry this coin as part of our graded silver inventory, where NGC-certified products carry independent authentication alongside their assigned grade.

The America the Beautiful Quarters Program was authorized by Congress in 2010 and was designed to run through 2021, producing five new reverse designs per year to represent national parks and other federally protected sites across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories. Alongside the standard circulating quarters, the United States Mint began producing five-ounce silver versions known as America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins, which share the same reverse designs but are struck at a much larger scale.
Great Basin National Park, located in eastern Nevada, was established in 1986 and encompasses dramatic terrain that includes ancient bristlecone pines, a glacial lake, and Lehman Caves. The park's coin was released in 2013 as part of that year's five-coin lineup. The Philadelphia Mint, responsible for this specimen strike, has operated since 1792 and holds the distinction of being the first federal mint in American history. Its production of collector-quality specimen coins reflects a long tradition of precision craftsmanship.
Specimen-strike versions of the ATB five-ounce coins were produced specifically for the numismatic market, distinguished from the standard bullion strikes by a combination of polished dies and specially prepared planchets. This production method gives the specimen coins a distinct visual character that separates them from their bullion counterparts.
The obverse of the coin features John Flanagan's portrait of George Washington, a design that has appeared on the circulating quarter since 1932. The inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST," "LIBERTY," and the year of issue appear alongside the portrait, maintaining the standard composition expected on U.S. quarter coinage. The "P" mintmark is also present on the obverse, identifying the Philadelphia Mint as the striking facility.
The reverse depicts Wheeler Peak, the dominant geological feature of Great Basin National Park, rising above the Nevada landscape with detail that captures the rugged and remote character of the site. Inscriptions on the reverse include "GREAT BASIN," "NEVADA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "QUARTER DOLLAR," consistent with the series format. The design was executed by Joseph Menna and engineered for the five-ounce format, giving it a commanding physical presence that the standard quarter simply cannot deliver.
As a specimen strike, the coin's fields and devices benefit from a production process that produces sharper definition and a more refined surface texture than standard bullion strikes. The combination of reflective fields and frosted design elements gives the SP70-graded example a visual depth that is immediately apparent. At three inches in diameter, the coin's scale amplifies every design detail in a way that demands attention.
This coin is certified SP70 by NGC, one of the two most respected third-party grading services in the numismatic industry. NGC's encapsulation process includes independent authentication and grading, with the coin sealed in a tamper-evident holder that protects it from post-certification handling. The holder includes a unique certification number that can be verified directly through NGC's online registry.
The underlying coin is struck by the United States Mint to .999 fine silver with a stated weight of five troy ounces, specifications that carry the full backing of the federal government. We are an authorized dealer for NGC and PCGS, which means we deal in certified products with confidence in the integrity of the grading process. Buyers receive a coin that has been independently authenticated and assigned a permanent, verifiable grade.
An SP70 grade from NGC represents a perfect specimen strike with absolutely no post-production flaws detectable under five-times magnification. This is the highest grade the service assigns to specimen-strike coins, and examples that attain it represent the top tier of the production run. The designation reflects both the quality of the minting process and the handling care applied before submission.
This coin ships in its original NGC slab, the hard plastic encapsulation applied at the time of certification. The holder provides both physical protection and immediate display-ready presentation. No additional packaging is required, and the slab format eliminates any handling risk to the coin's surfaces after grading.
Pricing for this coin reflects both the intrinsic metal value of five troy ounces of .999 fine silver and a numismatic premium associated with the SP70 grade and specimen-strike production. The silver content moves with the current spot price of silver, providing a base value that shifts with the broader market. The numismatic layer of value is shaped by the relative scarcity of perfect-grade examples, collector demand for the ATB series, and the ongoing recognition of NGC certification in the market.
Our pricing is structured to reflect real-time market conditions rather than fixed retail markups. For a coin with both bullion and numismatic characteristics, understanding the distinction between metal value and collector premium is important when evaluating the total price. The bid/ask spread displayed on our product page gives buyers a clearer picture of the cost difference between acquisition and resale at any given moment.
Five-ounce ATB silver coins in NGC SP70 occupy a dual market: the bullion market, which prices the coin based on silver content, and the numismatic market, which recognizes the premium associated with perfect grades and specimen production. Coins certified at the top grade level tend to attract both collector and dealer attention, particularly within a well-documented series like America the Beautiful.
We operate a two-way market that supports both buying and selling within the same platform. Customers looking to sell back certified silver coins can access our competitive buyback pricing rather than navigating a fragmented resale environment. Liquidity for NGC-graded coins is generally supported by the transparency of the certification, which removes ambiguity about condition and authenticity in any resale context.
A perfect-grade specimen strike from the United States Mint is a genuinely finite product. SP70 designations are assigned to only a portion of any given submission, and once the initial release window closes, the population at the top grade becomes fixed. For collectors focused on the America the Beautiful series, an SP70 from the Philadelphia Mint represents the definitive example of that design at that size.
The five-ounce format also carries a visual weight that smaller bullion coins cannot replicate. At three inches across, the Great Basin design is rendered with far more detail and presence than its circulating counterpart. The NGC holder adds a layer of permanence to the coin's condition status, making the purchase straightforward for buyers who want both the silver content and the numismatic recognition that a certified perfect grade provides.
We built our platform around the principle that buyers deserve straightforward information, honest pricing, and a marketplace that works equally well on both sides of a transaction. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and our memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every product category, including certified numismatic silver.
As an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, we carry graded products with confidence in the integrity of the certification process. Every coin is verified before it reaches a customer, and our customer support team has genuine product knowledge to back up any questions that arise before or after a purchase. Our transparent pricing structure, two-way market model, and secure transaction environment make us a straightforward place to buy certified precious metals without the pressure or opacity that can accompany traditional coin dealers.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including graded silver coins like this NGC SP70. For a product with both bullion and numismatic characteristics, the ability to see real-time wholesale pricing on both sides of the market provides meaningful context when evaluating whether current premiums reflect broader market conditions or a more specific collector demand signal. Pro members can also access historical premium data and spread analysis tools that help distinguish short-term price movement from longer-term trends within graded series.
Portfolio valuation through Pro uses live wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving members a more realistic view of what their certified holdings are worth at current market conditions. For buyers managing a collection that includes NGC-graded five-ounce ATB coins, this distinction matters. Our proprietary market intelligence is designed to reduce the information gap that has historically made it difficult for individual buyers to evaluate certified numismatic products with the same clarity available in more transparent markets.
We support a broad range of payment methods to ensure that buying and selling precious metals is as convenient and secure as possible. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency through BitPay.
