2012 Acadia National Park Quarter 100-Coin Bag, San Francisco (PL4)
New for 2012 - America the Beautiful Quarters® Program “S” mint mark circulating quality quarters! These “S” mint mark quarters will not be released into circulation.
The Acadia National Park quarter is the third to be released in 2012, the third bearing the “S” mint mark and the 13th overall in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. This bag is filled with 100 Acadia National Park quarters minted on the main production floor of the United States Mint at San Francisco, each with the “S” mint mark.
The reverse (tails side) image depicts a view of the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse and Acadia’s rough coastline. The design captures many representative elements of Acadia: the coastline, the lighthouse, the pine trees and the ocean. Inscriptions are ACADIA, MAINE, 2012 and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Design candidates were developed in consultation with representatives of Acadia National Park. Each coin in the series features a common obverse (heads) with the 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, restored to bring out subtle details and the beauty of the original model. Inscriptions are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and QUARTER DOLLAR.

Program Information:
Program Information:
In 2010, the United States Mint launched the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program, a 12-year initiative with 56 quarter-dollar coins featuring reverse designs depicting some of our most cherished national parks and other national sites. Under this program, the United States Mint will issue five new quarter designs per year, with one final design in 2021.
Awed by its beauty and diversity, early 20th-century visionaries donated the land on the rugged coast of Maine that became Acadia National Park, the first national park east of the Mississippi River. The park is home to the tallest mountain on the U.S. Atlantic Coast. Visitors come to Acadia to hike over granite peaks, bike on historic carriage roads and enjoy the spectacular scenery. It was first established as a national site on July 8, 1916 (39 Stat. 1785).
