Historical Significance
Located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Mount Rushmore National Memorial features the monumental carvings of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. The reverse design uniquely depicts sculptor Gutzon Borglum, highlighting the artistic vision and engineering achievement behind the creation of the memorial.
Collectibility
The 2013-D Mount Rushmore Quarter is a standout issue in the America the Beautiful series due to its depiction of the monument’s creation rather than the finished sculpture. Circulated examples are common, while uncirculated pieces with strong detail and original luster are desirable for date-and-mint sets.
