What is a 2020-S National Park Quarter Uncirculated worth?
Age alone gives this coin a small premium, even worn. Sharp details and original surfaces push it higher.
What would make yours worth more:
- Grade and, for proofs, strong cameo contrast
- A die variety or minting error
For market prices, check recent sold results for certified coins in the same grade.
Quick answers

- Where is the mint mark on a 2020 America the Beautiful Quarter?
- On the obverse, to the right of Washington's ribbon. "W" quarters were struck in 2019 and 2020 and released into circulation in small numbers. On this coin the mark is S, for San Francisco.

What to check on your 2020-S
- Make sure the mint mark really is an S. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2020-W (2 million made).
- Judge the grade under good light. Look for luster and freedom from bag marks. "W" quarters in circulation are worth a premium even in average condition.

How to recognize it
The National Park design
The National Park of American Samoa opens the 2020 releases with a Samoa fruit bat mother hanging in a tree with her pup. Inscriptions read NATIONAL PARK and AMERICAN SAMOA. Established in 1988, the park protects coral reefs and tropical rain forest on several islands and is the only U.S. national park south of the equator. Fruit bats are important pollinators and seed dispersers in these forests. Richard Masters designed the reverse and Phebe Hemphill sculpted it.
The America the Beautiful Quarter design
Each reverse shows a national park or other national site, one for every state, the District of Columbia and five territories, with the site's name, its state and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Five designs were issued each year from 2010 to 2020, followed by a final design for the Tuskegee Airmen in 2021. The obverse uses a restored, more detailed version of Flanagan's original Washington portrait.
