The 2016 5 oz America the Beautiful Theodore Roosevelt National Park silver coin is a large-format collectible struck by the United States Mint as part of the ongoing America the Beautiful Quarters program. Composed of .999 fine silver and weighing a full 5 troy ounces, this coin carries legal tender status with a face value of 25 cents, though its significance extends well beyond that nominal designation. This particular example has been graded MS69PL by the Numismatic Guaranty Company, reflecting a near-perfect specimen with pronounced proof-like surface characteristics that set it apart from standard uncirculated examples.
The coin honors Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, a site established in memory of the 26th president and his deep conservation legacy. We carry this coin as a graded, encapsulated example, making it a natural fit for collectors who prioritize both the physical silver content and the numismatic presentation of a certified specimen.

The coin honors Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, a site established in memory of the 26th president and his deep conservation legacy. We carry this coin as a graded, encapsulated example, making it a natural fit for collectors who prioritize both the physical silver content and the numismatic presentation of a certified specimen.
The America the Beautiful program was authorized by the America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008 and launched in 2010. Designed to run through 2021, the series honors 56 national parks and other significant federal sites across the United States, issuing five new designs each year. The bullion version of each coin was struck in 5 oz .999 fine silver to create a collectible counterpart to the standard quarter, giving both silver buyers and numismatists a meaningful reason to engage with the series.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park, located in the badlands of western North Dakota, was established in 1978 and named in honor of President Roosevelt's time spent in the region during the 1880s. His experiences there are widely credited with shaping his later conservation policies, including the establishment of the U.S. Forest Service and designation of numerous national monuments and wildlife refuges. The 2016 coin honoring this site represents one of seven designs released that year as part of the program's ongoing schedule.
The United States Mint has produced the 5 oz bullion version of each America the Beautiful design since the program began, with both bullion strikes and collector versions issued annually. NGC has been certifying these coins since the series launched, and the PL designation applied to this example reflects a specific surface quality standard that the grading service evaluates independently of the standard MS numerical grade.
The obverse carries John Flanagan's portrait of George Washington, the same design used on the standard Washington Quarter since 1932, accompanied by the inscriptions "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the year of issue. The design is rendered with precise detail at this size, with Washington's portrait taking on considerably more depth and texture than it does on the circulating quarter.
The reverse depicts a scene within Theodore Roosevelt National Park, showing a bison grazing in the foreground against a backdrop of the park's characteristic eroded badlands terrain. The composition captures the rugged character of the landscape and reinforces the connection between Roosevelt's conservation legacy and the American West. Inscriptions on the reverse include "THEODORE ROOSEVELT," "NORTH DAKOTA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "QUARTER DOLLAR."
The PL designation assigned by NGC indicates that this coin exhibits proof-like surfaces, characterized by mirrored fields contrasting with frosted or detailed design elements. This surface quality gives the coin a visual presentation closer to a proof strike than a standard bullion coin, making it particularly striking when viewed in hand. The 3-inch diameter format amplifies every detail in a way that smaller coins simply cannot replicate.
The United States Mint strikes the 5 oz America the Beautiful series to a fineness of .999 silver, with each coin's weight and purity guaranteed by the federal government. This graded example has been independently certified by NGC, one of the two most widely recognized third-party grading services in the numismatic industry. The coin is sealed within NGC's tamper-evident plastic holder, which also displays the grade, certification number, and series designation for easy verification.
We are an authorized dealer for NGC, which means the certified coins we carry can be confirmed through NGC's online registry using the certification number on each holder. That level of traceability is particularly important for graded coins, where the assigned grade directly influences both desirability and resale pricing. Buyers can verify this specific example's grade, variety, and population data directly through NGC's public database.
The MS69PL grade assigned by NGC indicates a coin with nearly flawless surfaces and pronounced proof-like characteristics, falling just short of a perfect MS70. At this grade, the coin may exhibit at most one or two very minor imperfections visible under close inspection, but the overall visual impression remains exceptional, particularly given the coin's distinctive mirrored field appearance. The PL designation adds a layer of significance for collectors who value surface quality as a distinct attribute separate from the numerical grade alone.
This coin ships encapsulated within its NGC plastic slab, which protects the surfaces and preserves the grade. The slab itself is housed in a protective outer sleeve or box appropriate for a coin of this size and certified status. Because this is a graded product, the condition has already been objectively assessed and sealed at the point of certification, giving buyers confidence in exactly what they are receiving before the package arrives.
Pricing for this coin reflects two distinct components: the underlying silver value based on the current spot price of silver, and the numismatic premium associated with its NGC MS69PL grade, its limited mintage, and its status within a completed program year. The silver melt value provides a natural floor, while the certified grade and surface designation contribute meaningful additional value that goes beyond raw metal content.
The PL designation and MS69 grade together create a narrower supply pool than ungraded examples, which tends to support a more stable premium relative to spot. Population data from NGC can help buyers understand how many examples have been certified at this specific grade level, which is a relevant factor when evaluating the premium being paid. Our pricing reflects real-time silver market conditions and is structured to provide clear, consistent value without introducing unnecessary complexity.
The 5 oz America the Beautiful series has an established collector base, and NGC-certified examples in high grades are actively traded through both secondary market channels and dealer networks. The Theodore Roosevelt design benefits from the broader recognition of the America the Beautiful program and the historical significance of the subject, both of which tend to support demand among collectors focused on the series. As with all graded coins, the specific combination of grade and surface designation affects how tightly the market prices individual examples.
We operate within a two-way market, meaning customers who purchase coins through us can also sell them back through the same platform. Understanding the bid/ask spread for a product like this before purchase gives a more complete picture of the true cost of ownership, rather than discovering the resale value only when it is time to liquidate.
For collectors pursuing the America the Beautiful series in high certified grades, the MS69PL designation represents a meaningful step above a standard uncirculated example. The proof-like surface quality distinguishes this coin visually and creates a different collecting experience than working with raw or standard certified examples. The 2016 Theodore Roosevelt design is tied to a historically significant national park and a conservation legacy that adds thematic depth to the series beyond its silver content.
At 5 troy ounces of .999 fine silver, the coin also carries real metal weight that makes it relevant beyond a purely numismatic context. The combination of substantial silver content, a recognized government-issued design, third-party certification from NGC, and an above-average surface grade makes this an unusually complete package for a collector who values both the physical metal and the numismatic attributes of what they hold.
We are an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, which matters particularly when purchasing graded coins where authentication and grade verification are central to the purchase. Our customers can confirm the certification number on any graded coin we sell directly through the respective grading service's online database. That level of traceability is part of how we approach product integrity rather than simply asserting it.
Our pricing is transparent and reflects real-time market conditions, with the bid/ask spread displayed on each product page so buyers can evaluate the full cost of ownership before committing. We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, reflecting the standards we hold ourselves to across every transaction. Our two-way market model allows customers to both purchase and sell through the same platform, making liquidity a consideration that does not have to wait until after the purchase is made.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a broad range of products, including graded silver coins like this one. For a product where the premium above spot is influenced by grade population, surface designation, and collector demand, having visibility into real-time wholesale pricing conditions provides meaningful context that static retail listings cannot offer. Members can also view their portfolios using current wholesale bid pricing, giving a more accurate picture of liquidation value rather than an optimistic estimate based on retail ask prices.
Pro also includes proprietary market intelligence and product research tools that allow members to evaluate premiums, bid/ask spreads, and historical pricing trends across the catalog. For a certified coin with a specific grade and surface designation, those tools help members understand how the market is pricing similar examples over time, which supports more informed decisions at both the point of purchase and eventual resale.
We support a wide range of payment methods to accommodate buyers at every stage of the process. Major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are accepted, as are PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments through BitPay. Every transaction is processed with security and convenience in mind, with the same straightforward experience whether you are buying a single graded coin or adding to an existing collection.
