Historical Significance
Located in Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, Harpers Ferry played a pivotal role in American history. The town sits at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers and is best known for abolitionist John Brown’s 1859 raid on the federal armory, an event widely regarded as a catalyst leading to the Civil War.
Collectibility
With a collector mintage under 19,000 pieces, the 2016-P Harpers Ferry is among the scarcer Philadelphia-mint ATB issues. Its historical theme, attractive design, and low mintage make it a popular choice for collectors building complete 5 oz America the Beautiful sets. Original Mint packaging with the box and COA remains desirable to collectors.
