Historical Significance
Located in western North Dakota, Theodore Roosevelt National Park preserves the Badlands environment that deeply influenced Theodore Roosevelt’s views on conservation. His experiences in this region helped inspire the modern conservation movement and the creation of national parks, forests, and wildlife refuges across the United States.
Collectibility
The 2016-D Theodore Roosevelt Quarter is a standout issue in the America the Beautiful series for its presidential theme and dynamic western imagery. Circulated examples are common, while uncirculated coins with strong strikes and original luster are sought after for complete date-and-mint sets.
