<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 4120001, member: 5787"]The National Park of American Samoa puck went on sale on 6 February 2020. It is the 51st puck in the ATB series and the first of 2020. The US mint hasn't released sales figures since the 12th of January so we have no sales data yet on this offering, but it is currently on backorder after only a week of sales. Whether it is production issue or heavy sales is unknown but I would lean toward the former. All the 2019 pucks remain available for sale on the mint's website including the Lowell, American Memorial Park, War in the Pacific, and San Antonito pucks. It appears that the Cumberland Island and Block Island pucks from 2018 have sold out as they no longer appear on the mint website. I like the bat design on the Samoan puck and rate it high compared to others in this series.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the mint website: The 2020 America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin™— National Park of American Samoa— is the first release of 2020 in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. The reverse (tails) design depicts a Samoan fruit bat mother hanging in a tree with her pup. The image evokes the remarkable care and energy this species puts into its offspring. The design is intended to promote awareness to the species’ threatened status resulting from habitat loss and commercial hunting. The National Park of American Samoa is the only park in the U.S. national park system the Samoan fruit bat calls home. </p><p><br /></p><p>Located some 2,600 miles southwest of Hawai'i, the National Park of American Samoa is one of the most remote national parks in the United States. The park includes sections of three islands—Tutuila, Ta'ū, and Ofu. Almost all of the land area of these volcanic islands—from the mountaintops to the coast—is tropical rainforest. The park encompasses 13,500 acres, of which 4,000 are underwater. Visitors will not find the usual facilities of most national parks. Instead, with a bit of the explorer's spirit, visitors will discover secluded villages, rare plants and animals, coral sand beaches, and vistas of land and sea.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1068172[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
