A decade-long tour of protected places

The program selected one site for each state, the District of Columbia, and five territories, normally releasing five designs a year.

San Francisco collector strikes and the 2019–2020 West Point circulation releases create collecting paths that go well beyond a simple design checklist.

Obverse, reverse, and the details that identify the type

Confirm the major design, date, and mint mark before studying smaller die differences.

The main portrait and date

The familiar modified Washington portrait remains the common anchor, with mint mark and date on the obverse.

Denomination, subject, and mint mark

Each site receives a new design naming the location and jurisdiction, ranging from landscapes to architecture and historical figures.
