This collector version was struck at the Philadelphia Mint and bears the “P” mintmark.
Collectibility
The Shawnee issue is a favorite among America the Beautiful collectors due to its dramatic wildlife design and relatively low collector mintage. The soaring hawk motif and depiction of Camel Rock make it one of the more visually distinctive releases in the ATB series. Examples accompanied by their original U.S. Mint box and COA remain especially desirable to collectors.
