Historical Significance
Instead of a standard monument portrait, the reverse emphasizes the craftsmanship and engineering behind Mount Rushmore—an educational design choice that makes this one of the most distinctive ATB quarters. The memorial itself stands in South Dakota’s Black Hills and honors four presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln.
Collectibility
With a large Philadelphia output (reported 231,800,000), the 2013-P is an accessible album coin, but it remains a standout for collectors who like “process” or construction-themed designs within the ATB series.
