Historical Significance
Located in southern Colorado, Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve protects the tallest sand dunes in North America. Wind, water, and mountain geography combine to create a rare environment where massive dunes meet alpine peaks, making the park a unique example of geological interaction.
Collectibility
The 2014-D Great Sand Dunes Quarter is popular with America the Beautiful collectors for its dramatic desert-and-mountain contrast. Circulated examples are common, while sharply struck uncirculated coins with original luster are preferred for complete date-and-mint sets.
