Historical Significance
Located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is best known for John Brown’s 1859 raid, a pivotal event leading to the American Civil War. The park also reflects early American industry, abolitionist history, and strategic military importance due to its geography.
Collectibility
The 2016-D Harpers Ferry Quarter is highly regarded within the America the Beautiful series for its strong historical theme. Circulated examples are common, while well-struck uncirculated coins with clean fields and original luster are preferred for complete date-and-mint collections.
