NEW BOOK: PARKS IN YOUR POCKETS

Parks in Your Pockets. Exploring America's Beautiful Quarter Dollar Series.

Fans of the United States Mint's 11-year program of America the Beautiful Quarters®, struck from 2010 to 2021, will be delighted by Arlyn G. Sieber's new book, Parks in Your Pockets, newly published by the American Numismatic Association. The lavishly illustrated, 120-page, softcover volume features 56 chapters based on his popular series of articles in The Numismatist and includes a foreword by former Numismatist Editor-in-Chief Barbara J. Gregory.

Although commonly referred to as national park quarters, the series spotlights places officially designated as national monuments, forests, wildlife refuges, historic sites, lakeshores, and preserves. The coins were released in the order in which the areas came under federal protection. The familiar bust of President George Washington appears on the obverse of each. For the reverses, artists and U.S. Mint sculptor-engravers strived – and sometimes struggled—to capture the sites' essential qualities on the quarter's small canvas.

Parks in Your Pockets, with its friendly, entertaining approach, helps collectors young and old explore these imaginative and inspiring quarter dollars. Sieber's informative book truly is for everyone – numismatists, travel buffs, and anyone who appreciates the history and natural beauty of our country.
