MAG America the Beautiful Quarters SET # 2
2010 S SILVER YELLOWSTONE

Owner Comments:

This seemingly insignificant event was, in fact, setting a precedent for the protection of public lands for decades by becoming the first national park ever created.With the help of (and sometimes exploitation by) the transcontinental railroads, Yellowstone quickly became a tourist attraction drawing thousands of visitors from the East eager to see its rugged beauty and wildlife.Today, over 3 million people visit the park annually, most of whom head straight for a viewing of Old Faithful geyser which erupts at intervals usually between 60 and 90 minutes
