Congress declared the Apostle Islands as a National Lakeshore in 1970. Today this natural treasure is commemorated in silver. The US Mint released the Apostle Island coin as the 42nd in its America the Beautiful series of 5-ounce pure silver coins. This series has been popular with investors for three reasons.

• The coins are big and the artwork is beautiful making them an interesting addition to any silver holding.
• The coins are affordable with premiums similar to the silver American Eagle, despite lots of demand from coin collectors.
• Each coin carries its own unique story.

The coin's reverse features a man kayaking the waters of Lake Superior with sandstone cliffs rising out of the waters to his left. Trees dot the cliff tops. Inscribed on the reverse are the words; Apostle Islands, Wisconsin, 2018, and E Pluribus Unum.

The obverse carries the familiar coin portrait of George Washington - the portrait featured on current Washington quarters. The inscriptions on this side include; United States of America, Liberty, In God We Trust and Quarter Dollar.

The coins are packaged by the US Mint in tubes of 10 coins. A full Mint box contains 10 tubes for a total of 500 ounces. The weight and purity of the coin is inscribed on the coin's rim and is guaranteed by the US government.

It is always a great idea to invest in physical silver. Why not get some beauty, history and something to start conversations with to go along with your ounces? Each new release in the America the Beautiful series tends to go quickly. Many of the coins now command significant premiums in the secondary market.
