Historical Significance
Located in southern Colorado, Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve protects the tallest sand dunes in North America. Formed by wind and water over thousands of years, the dunes sit against alpine peaks, creating a rare and visually stunning contrast that highlights the dynamic forces of nature preserved within the park.
Collectibility
The 2014-P Great Sand Dunes Quarter is a favorite among America the Beautiful collectors due to its unique desert-and-mountain imagery. Circulated examples are plentiful, while sharply struck uncirculated coins with original luster are sought after for complete date-and-mint sets.
