Historical Significance
Hot Springs was first established as a national site on April 20, 1832, and this quarter launched the America the Beautiful series as it entered circulation on April 19, 2010.
Collectibility
As the kickoff issue of the series, the 2010-P Hot Springs quarter is a must-have for America the Beautiful albums. Most value is condition-driven, with true gems far scarcer than typical circulated finds.
