We carry this coin as part of our broader selection of graded American silver issues, where the combination of government-issued origin and third-party certification makes it a well-defined product for collectors and precious metals buyers alike.
The America the Beautiful Quarters Program was authorized by Congress through the America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008 and launched in 2010. The program honors a national park or site from each of the 50 states, five U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia, producing five new designs per year through 2021. The five-ounce silver bullion and collector versions mirror the circulating quarter designs and have become among the most recognized large-format silver coins produced by the U.S. Mint.
Fort Moultrie, located in Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, is part of Fort Sumter National Monument. The site holds deep significance in American military history, having defended Charleston Harbor during the Revolutionary War in 1776, a battle considered one of the first decisive American victories of that conflict. The Philadelphia Mint, which struck this coin, has operated continuously since 1792, making it the oldest mint facility in the United States and a foundational institution in American coinage.
The reverse of this coin features a detailed depiction of Fort Moultrie's historic palmetto log fort, evoking the site's connection to the 1776 Battle of Sullivan's Island. The design captures the defensive structure in a composed, historically grounded scene and includes the inscriptions "FORT MOULTRIE," "SOUTH CAROLINA," and "2016," along with the standard "E PLURIBUS UNUM" motto. The artistry is rendered with the sharp precision and frosted relief characteristic of Specimen-finish coins from the U.S. Mint.
The obverse carries the familiar portrait of George Washington originally designed by John Flanagan for the 1932 quarter and modified over the decades. It bears the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST," "LIBERTY," and the mint mark "P" confirming Philadelphia production. The Specimen finish produces a distinctive aesthetic with highly polished fields and carefully struck design elements, setting it apart from both the standard bullion strike and the standard proof presentation.
NGC, the Numismatic Guaranty Company, is one of the two most widely respected third-party coin grading services in the world. An SP70 grade reflects a perfect Specimen coin with full strike, exceptional surface quality, and no post-mint flaws, as evaluated by NGC's professional grading team. Each graded coin is sealed in a tamper-evident NGC holder with a unique certification number that can be verified directly through NGC's online registry.
We are an authorized NGC dealer, which supports our ability to offer legitimately graded coins with full certification integrity. The NGC slab itself serves as the primary authentication mechanism for this product, eliminating the need for independent verification by the buyer. Every coin we offer goes through our standard receiving and verification process before it is made available for purchase.
This coin is graded NGC SP70, the highest grade achievable on the Specimen scale, representing a perfect example with no detectable flaws under standard grading magnification. The SP designation distinguishes this strike from both the bullion-finish version and the standard proof, reflecting a coin produced to a specialized Specimen standard with a distinctive combination of polished fields and carefully prepared dies. At this grade level, the coin represents the best available example of this particular issue.
As a graded coin, it ships sealed in its original NGC holder. The hard plastic slab protects the coin from environmental exposure and physical contact, so no additional handling precautions are necessary on the buyer's part. The holder displays the coin's specifications, grade, and certification number and should not be cracked out, as doing so voids the grade and significantly affects the coin's recognized market value.
Pricing for this coin reflects two distinct components: the intrinsic silver value of five troy ounces of .999 fine silver at the current spot price, and the numismatic premium associated with the NGC SP70 grade. The grading premium on a perfect-grade coin like this one can be substantially greater than the metal value alone, and it tends to be more sensitive to collector demand, population report data, and overall market activity for the America the Beautiful series than to silver spot fluctuations.
Our pricing is updated to reflect real-time market conditions, and the bid/ask spread displayed on our product page gives buyers a clear picture of both acquisition cost and current resale value. For graded coins, this spread may be wider than on standard bullion products, which is consistent with how the broader numismatic market prices low-population, high-grade issues.
The 2016-P Fort Moultrie SP70 trades in two overlapping markets: the bullion market, where five ounces of .999 fine silver establishes a firm floor value, and the numismatic market, where NGC certification and grade level drive additional demand. Buyers for this coin include both silver stackers who value the metal content and collectors who specifically seek top-grade America the Beautiful issues. That dual demand base generally supports reasonably active resale activity compared to more obscure numismatic issues.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals through our platform using competitive buyback pricing. Understanding the liquidity profile of a coin at the time of purchase is an important part of evaluating the full cost of ownership, and our transparent bid/ask structure is designed to support exactly that kind of informed assessment.
The SP70 grade represents the ceiling of what NGC certifies for this issue, meaning this coin has been professionally evaluated as perfect in every measurable respect. For collectors pursuing a complete America the Beautiful set or specifically seeking top-grade large-format silver coins, an SP70 from the Philadelphia Mint with a historically significant reverse design offers a precise, well-defined product with a traceable certification record.
The five-ounce format also makes this a visually striking piece at 76.2 mm in diameter, considerably larger than standard one-ounce coins. The combination of that physical presence, the Fort Moultrie design's historical depth, and the NGC SP70 certification creates a product that satisfies criteria across both the bullion and collector spectrum in a single purchase.
We have operated as a trusted precious metals dealer since 2010, and our approach has always centered on transparency and long-term customer relationships rather than high-pressure sales. As an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, we work within the established authentication infrastructure of the numismatic industry, which is directly relevant when purchasing graded coins like this one. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and active memberships in the ANA and NCBA reflect a sustained commitment to industry standards.
Our pricing structure is designed to give buyers a clear and honest picture of what they are purchasing and what the resale environment looks like. The bid/ask spread shown on our product pages reflects real market conditions rather than manufactured margins. We offer knowledgeable customer support, reliable fulfillment, and a buying experience built around clarity rather than complexity.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including graded and numismatic issues. For a coin like the Fort Moultrie SP70, where premiums can move based on collector demand, NGC population report shifts, and broader America the Beautiful series activity, having access to real-time wholesale pricing and proprietary spread analysis adds meaningful context to any purchase or sale decision. Members can also track portfolio value using live wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail figures, which provides a more accurate picture of current liquidation value.
Pro's product research and comparison tools allow members to evaluate premiums, bid/ask spreads, and historical pricing data across similar graded silver issues, helping to identify where this coin sits within the broader market at any given point. Rather than relying on static listing prices or third-party estimates, Pro members can assess the coin using objective, data-driven information updated in real time.
We support a full range of payment methods to make every transaction straightforward and secure. Buyers can complete purchases using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each method is integrated into a secure checkout environment designed to protect your financial information and confirm orders without unnecessary friction.
The flexibility to choose a payment method that fits your preference is part of how we build a buying experience that feels accessible rather than restrictive. Whether you prefer the convenience of a credit card or the efficiency of a wire transfer for larger purchases, we accommodate the full range of standard payment options used across the precious metals industry.
