Quick answers
- Is the 2012 Denali 5 oz Silver Bullion Coin rare?

- Where is the mint mark on a 2012 America the Beautiful Quarter?
- On the obverse, to the right of Washington's ribbon. "W" quarters were struck in 2019 and 2020 and released into circulation in small numbers. No mint mark means Philadelphia.

What to check on your 2012
- There's no mint mark on this one, so the date and condition are what matter.
- Check the date and mint mark under magnification for tooling or added letters. Scarce dates are the ones forgers alter.
- Don't clean it. Cleaning leaves fine scratches and an unnatural shine that collectors avoid.
- Judge the grade under good light. Look for luster and freedom from bag marks. "W" quarters in circulation are worth a premium even in average condition.
The 5 ounce America the Beautiful coins are 3 inches (76.2 mm) across and contain five troy ounces of .999 fine silver, with the same designs as the quarters. The bullion version, sold through authorized dealers, has no mint mark; the burnished version made for collectors carries a P mint mark and a satin finish. The edge is lettered with the fineness and weight instead of being reeded. Low-mintage dates attract altered and counterfeit coins. Check that the date have not been tooled or added, or buy one already certified by PCGS or NGC.
The story of the 2012 Denali
Elsewhere in US coinage in 2012
The Mint stopped striking Presidential dollars for circulation after the Federal Reserve reported a huge stockpile of unused dollar coins. They were struck for collectors only from 2012.
How to recognize it
The Denali design
Alaska's Denali National Park and Preserve closes 2012 with a Dall sheep in the foreground and the continent's highest peak, known both as Denali and as Mount McKinley, rising behind it. The summit stands more than 20,000 feet above sea level. The park was created in 1917 as Mount McKinley National Park, partly to protect Dall sheep and other wildlife from market hunting. Susan Gamble designed the reverse and Jim Licaretz sculpted it.
The America the Beautiful Quarter design
Each reverse shows a national park or other national site, one for every state, the District of Columbia and five territories, with the site's name, its state and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Five designs were issued each year from 2010 to 2020, followed by a final design for the Tuskegee Airmen in 2021. The obverse uses a restored, more detailed version of Flanagan's original Washington portrait.
