Historical Significance
Released into circulation on November 15, 2010, this quarter spotlights Mount Hood National Forest—an expansive landscape east of Portland that stretches from the Columbia River Gorge into miles of mountains, lakes, and streams. The forest’s modern identity traces back to early 1900s Forest Service reorganization—formed as the Oregon National Forest (1908) and renamed Mount Hood National Forest (1924).
Collectibility
The 2010-P Mount Hood quarter carries a reported mintage of 34,400,000, making it a strong, affordable album coin for ATB set builders. Note: The U.S. Mint also produced Mount Hood quarters in other finishes (including proof formats) and related 5-ounce issues, but this listing is for the standard 25¢ Philadelphia circulation strike.
