2019-W War in the Pacific Quarter Coin - W Mint - (UNC) Brilliant Uncirculated 

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

• These are the first quarters minted by the West Point Mint for circulation.  They were unexpectedly announced on April 2nd, 2019 as a way to generate interest from collectors. Mintage of 2,000,000.
• The obverse shows a slightly modified version of the original Washington Quarter. The mint moved some of the wording previously found on the reverse to the obverse in order to make more room for the reverse design for each state. You'll find "United States of America," "In God We Trust," "Liberty," and "Quarter Dollar" all spelled out on the obverse of the quarter as well as the coin's mint mark. 
• The reverse features Soldiers from the United States Armed Forces arriving at Asan Bay to help Guam in its war efforts. Asan Bay Overlook is one of the popular sites within the park. Inscriptions on the coin include "War in the Pacific," "Guam," "2019," and "E Pluribus Unum."
  
• The 5 National Parks Released in 2019:  Lowell National Historical Park in Massachusetts, American Memorial Park in the Northern Mariana Islands, War in the Pacific National Historical Park in Guam, San Antonio Missions National Historical Park in Texas, and Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho.
• Sovereign coins minted at the West Point Branch of the U.S. Mint and backed by the United States government, each with a face value of $0.25. The America the Beautiful Quarter Program began in 2010, but Uncirculated Quarters were not minted at West Point until 2019.
