Overview

A United States quarter featuring George Washington on the obverse and a mangrove tree on the reverse, representing Salt River Bay in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Historical significance

Part of the America the Beautiful Quarters Program (2010-2021) which honored national parks and sites. This specific coin celebrates the Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve.

Obverse (front)

The 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, facing left. Inscriptions: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, QUARTER DOLLAR, and the 'P' mint mark.

Reverse (back)

A red mangrove tree in an early stage of its life cycle, illustrating its unique root system. Inscriptions: SALT RIVER BAY, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS, 2020, E PLURIBUS UNUM. Designed by Richard Masters.

Estimated value

$0.25 (face value) in circulated condition; $1-$3 in high uncirculated (MS-65) condition.

What drives this coin's value

Condition (grade) is the primary factor. While this P-mint is common, a 'W' mint mark version from West Point would be significantly more valuable.

Grade assessment

About Uncirculated / Circulated. Shows some contact marks and minor wear on the high points of Washington's hair and the tree roots.

Mintage & rarity

Total mintage of 515,000,000 (Philadelphia). This is a common circulation strike.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for the correct weight (5.67g) and magnetic properties (non-magnetic). Authentic coins have sharp, distinct lettering and a copper core visible on the edge.

Notable varieties & errors

Look for the 'W' mint mark (West Point) which was released into circulation but is much rarer. Also, look for minor doubling on the inscriptions on the reverse.

Similar coins

Other 2020 America the Beautiful quarters such as Weir Farm or Tallgrass Prairie, which share the same obverse.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges only. Store in a PVC-free holder or flip. Do not clean or polish, as this removes the mint luster and significantly degrades collector value.
