This particular example has been certified by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) at the SP70 grade, representing a perfect specimen strike with no post-production imperfections visible under five-times magnification. We carry this coin as a graded collectible that combines substantial silver content with recognized numismatic certification.
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 and continuing through 2021, the series issued five designs annually honoring a rotating selection of national parks and sites, resulting in 56 total designs. The five-ounce silver versions, minted with the "P" mint mark from Philadelphia, were issued as companion collector pieces to the circulating quarter series.
George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, located in Vincennes, Indiana, was selected as one of the five sites commemorated in 2017. The park honors the Revolutionary War military leader George Rogers Clark, whose campaign in the Illinois Country played a decisive role in shaping the western frontier of the newly formed United States. The Mint issued this coin as a specimen strike, meaning it was produced with specially prepared dies and polished planchets for enhanced detail and surface quality rather than for general circulation.
The Philadelphia Mint has a long and distinguished record producing collector-quality coinage, and its specimen strikes within the America the Beautiful series are among the more carefully produced large-format silver coins in modern United States Mint history. Production mintages for the five-ounce collector versions were significantly lower than their circulating counterparts, which contributes to their standing in the numismatic market.
The obverse of this coin features John Flanagan's portrait of George Washington, the standard design used across all America the Beautiful quarter issues. Washington faces left in a classic profile view, with the inscriptions "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the year "2017" surrounding the portrait. The large format of the five-ounce planchet allows Flanagan's design to be rendered at a scale that reveals considerably more surface detail than the circulating quarter ever could.
The reverse depicts the George Rogers Clark National Memorial building in Vincennes, Indiana, rendered with architectural precision. The rotunda is shown in a frontal perspective framed by surrounding trees, conveying the monument's prominence within the landscape. The inscriptions "GEORGE ROGERS CLARK," "INDIANA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "2017" are incorporated into the design, along with the mint mark "P" and the standard denomination. The reverse was designed by Don Everhart and engraved with a level of detail that benefits substantially from the coin's larger diameter.
As a specimen strike, this coin was produced with polished planchets and specially treated dies, resulting in surfaces that exhibit sharp relief against a frosted or satin-like field. The SP70 designation from NGC confirms that no contact marks, hairlines, or surface imperfections were detected at the point of certification, making this one of the finest examples of the issue available to collectors.
This coin was struck by the United States Mint and certified by NGC, one of the two most respected third-party grading services in the numismatic industry. The SP70 grade is the highest certification achievable for a specimen strike, and NGC assigns it only to coins that exhibit no discernible post-production imperfections. Each certified coin is encapsulated in a tamper-evident NGC holder that displays the grade, certification number, and coin details, providing a clear and verifiable record of the coin's condition at the time of grading.
We are an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, which reinforces our commitment to handling certified coins with the standards those relationships require. The NGC slab itself serves as a self-contained authentication mechanism, eliminating the need for additional verification at the point of purchase. The coin's .999 fine silver content and five-ounce weight are established by the United States Mint's own production standards, not estimates or approximations.
This coin is certified SP70 by NGC, meaning it was graded at the highest possible level for a specimen-strike issue. The coin is encapsulated within a rigid, sonically sealed NGC holder that protects the surfaces and preserves the coin's condition without requiring direct handling. The label inside the slab identifies the coin by series, year, mint mark, denomination, and grade, along with a unique NGC certification number that can be verified through NGC's online registry.
Because this is a graded collectible rather than raw bullion, it ships in its NGC slab rather than a standard protective flip. The encapsulation is the packaging, and it is designed to provide long-term protection without any further intervention required from the buyer. No additional handling, cleaning, or repackaging is necessary or recommended after purchase.
Pricing for this coin reflects two distinct components: the intrinsic silver value derived from five troy ounces of .999 fine silver, and the numismatic premium associated with the NGC SP70 certification. The silver content component moves in relation to the current spot price of silver, while the numismatic premium reflects collector demand, certification tier, and the relative scarcity of SP70-graded examples within the George Rogers Clark issue.
Unlike standard bullion, where premiums are driven primarily by production costs and product format, certified specimen strikes carry premiums that respond to population reports, market demand for the specific design, and overall collector interest in the America the Beautiful series. Because NGC tracks how many coins of a given type have been certified at each grade level, the population data for SP70 examples provides useful context for evaluating the numismatic component of the premium independently from the underlying metal value.
The five-ounce America the Beautiful silver coins occupy a position in the market that combines bullion liquidity with numismatic collectibility. The five ounces of .999 fine silver establish a meaningful floor tied to prevailing silver prices, which supports basic liquidation value regardless of collector demand. The NGC SP70 certification adds a layer of market recognition that extends to the numismatic audience, including collectors who specifically target registry-quality examples of this series.
We operate as a two-way marketplace, meaning customers who purchase through us can also sell back to us at competitive buyback pricing. This structure is built around the belief that liquidity should be a factor in any purchasing decision, not an afterthought. Evaluating both the acquisition premium and the expected resale environment before buying gives a more complete picture of what ownership of this coin actually represents.
This coin offers a combination of attributes that appeals to different types of buyers simultaneously. For those focused on silver content, five troy ounces of .999 fine silver in a United States government-issued format represents a meaningful quantity in a single certified piece. For collectors, the SP70 grade from NGC establishes this as a top-tier example of a series that ran for over a decade and produced dozens of distinct designs.
The George Rogers Clark design itself is distinctive within the series, commemorating a site with genuine historical significance rather than simply a scenic landscape. The specimen strike production method, combined with the scale afforded by the larger planchet, results in a coin whose surface quality and design resolution exceed what the standard circulating quarter could ever achieve. The NGC slab preserves that quality and makes the coin's condition immediately verifiable to any buyer or dealer in the secondary market.
We approach certified numismatic products with the same standards we apply to standard bullion: transparent pricing, verified authenticity, and a straightforward buying experience. As an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, we handle graded coins with the knowledge and care that those relationships demand. 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 long-term commitment to professional standards across every transaction.
Our pricing is tied to real-time market conditions rather than fixed retail markups designed to obscure value. We display the bid/ask spread on our product pages because we believe buyers deserve to understand what a coin costs to acquire and what it is likely to return in a resale environment before committing to a purchase. That transparency is a deliberate part of how we operate, not a feature limited to certain products or certain customers.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including certified numismatic products like this NGC SP70 five-ounce silver coin. Rather than relying on static retail price lists, Pro members see prices that reflect real-time wholesale market conditions, along with real-time portfolio valuation based on current wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values. For a coin that carries both a silver content component and a numismatic premium, having visibility into how both layers of value are priced at the wholesale level provides meaningful context that standard retail listings simply cannot offer.
Pro also includes access to proprietary product research tools that allow members to evaluate premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics across the catalog. For collectors building a position in the America the Beautiful series or tracking how SP70-graded examples trade relative to lower-grade certified coins, these tools provide objective data to support more informed decisions. The goal is to reduce the information gap that has historically made it difficult to evaluate certified bullion products with the same analytical rigor applied to other asset categories.
We support a broad range of payment methods to accommodate buyers regardless of their preferred transaction format. Accepted options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments processed through BitPay. Each method is supported within a secure transaction environment designed to protect your financial information throughout the purchase process.
Whether you prefer the immediacy of a card payment, the cost efficiency of a wire transfer, or the flexibility of cryptocurrency, our checkout process is built to handle each method cleanly and without unnecessary friction. Security and convenience are treated as equally important, not tradeoffs.
