About this Product

Full Product Name

The Vicksburg National Park Quarter is the NINTH release in the America the Beautiful National Park Quarter Series. One National Park from each State and U.S. Territory will be honored on the quarter. Like the State Quarter Series, the U.S. Mint will release 5 new designs each year. The 2011 releases include Gettysburg, Glacier, Olympic, Vicksburg & Chickasaw.

The unique reverse design on the Vicksburg National MilitaryPark Quarter features the USS Cairo as it would have appeared as a U.S. Navy warship in the Civil War. An ironclad gunboat, the ship was used on the Ohio and Mississippi RIvers and their tributaries in the early part of the Civil War. She joined a Union expedition on the Yazoo RIver near Vicksburg, Mississippi, and on December 12 she struck a mine and sank. The wreck was salvaged in 1964 and was put on permanent display at Vicksburg National Military Park . The Vicksburg National Military Park Quarter was released by the U.S. Mint in August 2011.<

Each uncirculated quarter is layered 7 times in pure 24 karat gold. This Philadelphia Mint coin is encapsulated to protect its condition.
