Historical Significance
From 1892 to 1954, Ellis Island served as the nation’s busiest immigration station, processing more than 12 million immigrants. Located in New York Harbor, the site became a symbol of the American dream and the diverse heritage that helped shape the United States. Today, Ellis Island remains one of the country’s most important historical landmarks.
Collectibility
With a collector mintage of only 17,314 pieces, the 2017-P Ellis Island is among the lower-mintage issues in the America the Beautiful 5 oz series. Its powerful immigration theme, historical significance, and limited production make it a popular choice among collectors assembling complete Philadelphia-mint ATB sets. Examples with the original Mint box and COA are especially desirable.
