2016 Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Quarter Appraisal

2016 Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Quarter

This item is a 2016 circulating United States quarter dollar coin, part of the 'America the Beautiful' quarters series. The reverse design depicted in the image features John Brown’s Fort, the site of John Brown’s 1859 raid on the U.S. Armory. The physical construction consists of a copper-nickel clad composition (91.67% copper, 8.33% nickel) with a diameter of 24.26 mm and a reed edge. The coin displays a metallic silver-grey color typical of modern U.S. coinage. Notations along the rim include 'HARPERS FERRY', 'WEST VIRGINIA', the year '2016', and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'. The condition appears to be 'Circulated' with visible surface wear, minor scratches, and a slightly dull patina consistent with general pocket change use. The strike appears standard for business production, with the central motif of the fort showing moderate detail despite some blurring in the photograph. This specific design was the third of five released in 2016 and represents a significant historical site in the state of West Virginia, maintaining high craftsmanship standards common to the United States Mint during the early 21st-century production.
