Rolls and bags of quarters depicting George Rogers Clark National Historical Park in Indiana become available Monday, November 13, 2017.
This year’s fifth and overall fortieth coin from the U.S. Mint’s series of America the Beautiful Quarters® honors the national park with a scene showing Clark leading his men through the flooded plains approaching Fort Sackville.
Local financial institutions cannot order coins of a certain design from Federal Reserve Banks, making it difficult for collectors and national park enthusiasts to find new quarters in circulation. Ordering them from the U.S. Mint is the easiest way to get them in large quantities and from each of three production facilities that make them.
Product Options
Rolls and bags with circulating quality George Rogers Clark quarters are made at one of three U.S. Mint production facilities:
- the Philadelphia Mint,
- the Denver Mint, and
- the San Francisco Mint.
The U.S. Mint offers quarter-roll and quarter-bag options of:
| PRODUCT OPTION | MINT MARK | PRICE |
| Single Roll of 40 coins | “S” | $18.95 |
| 100-Coin Bag | “P,” “D,” or “S” | $34.95 |
| Two-Roll Set, 40 coins per roll | “P” and “D” | $32.95 |
| Three-Roll Set, 40 coins per roll | “P,” “D,” and “S” | $46.95 |
Mintmarks are engraved on the obverse (heads) of every quarter. They indicated where the quarter is made with “S” for San Francisco, “P” for Philadelphia and “D” for Denver.
George Rogers Clark quarters from the Philadelphia and Denver Mints will eventually find their way into change but those from the San Francisco Mint are produced only for coin collectors. The Fed does not distribute S-Mint coins into circulation.
Designs on George Rogers Clark Quarters
Quarter obverses (heads) bear the common portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan. It is quarter reverses that change on each national park quarter as they commemorate the site.
Frank Morris designed and Michael Gaudioso sculpted this quarter’s battle scene.

Quarter Launch Ceremony, Forum and Coin Exchange
