<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 4891213, member: 5787"]The U.S. Virgin Island's Salt River Bay National History Park puck went on sale on 18 September 2020. It is the 53rd puck in the ATB series and the third of 2020. The first week's sales were low 12,669. All the 2019 pucks and 2020 Samoa Bat puck are currently unavailable for sale on the mint website. Only the Weir Farm and Salt River Bay pucks are currently available for sale at $178.25. I would rate the design of this latest puck as slightly above average.</p><p><br /></p><p><u>From the Mint Website</u>. The reverse design depicts a red mangrove tree in an early stage of its life cycle, as it evolves from a very small plant to an adult tree. The design brings awareness to the park’s endangered mangrove forests and the unique and delicate nature of how the species reproduces in salt water. Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve is a living museum on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Salt River Bay possesses an archeological and historical heritage more than 2,000 years old that exists within a dynamic ecosystem that supports threatened and endangered species. In 1992, Congress created Salt River Bay as part of the National Park Service to preserve, protect, and tell the story of its rich contributions to the Nation’s natural and cultural heritage. The site’s blend of sea and land holds some of the largest remaining mangrove forests in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition to the mangroves, the other vitally important ecosystems within the preserve are an estuary, coral reefs, and even a submarine canyon. These ecosystems are home to 27 species that have been listed as rare, threatened, or endangered, such as the Green and Hawksbill Sea Turtles and the Blackbar Soldierfish. The coral reefs form the basis of communities that are comparable to tropical rainforests in their biological richness and global significance.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1180413[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
