The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The timeless portrait of George Washington graces the obverse, faithfully rendered from John Flanagan's iconic 1932 design. Washington's dignified profile faces left, encircled by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST." This enduring design connects every America the Beautiful quarter to our nation's founding father and his legacy of leadership.

Reverse: The reverse design powerfully depicts the 72nd Pennsylvania Infantry Monument standing sentinel on the hallowed grounds of Gettysburg. This striking memorial, positioned on the battlefield where Union forces held the line during Pickett's Charge, symbolizes the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the pivotal three-day battle of July 1863. The monument's commanding presence against the Pennsylvania landscape serves as an eternal reminder of the price of freedom. Inscriptions reading "GETTYSBURG," "PENNSYLVANIA," "2011," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" frame this solemn tribute to American valor and national unity forged through trial.

Why Collectors Choose This Piece

The 2011 Gettysburg quarter holds exceptional significance as the very first release in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program, making it essential for any serious collector. The Battle of Gettysburg, fought July 1-3, 1863, marked the turning point of the Civil War and stands as the bloodiest battle ever fought on American soil. President Lincoln's immortal Gettysburg Address, delivered at the battlefield's dedication, redefined the war's purpose and America's founding principles. For numismatists, this inaugural quarter represents both historical gravitas and collecting opportunity—the foundation piece of a complete 56-quarter set. The Philadelphia Mint strike and brilliant uncirculated condition make this an ideal addition for collectors who value both American history and numismatic quality.
