Rushmore Series – Preserving Rushmore, a unique collectible that honors both the history and ongoing preservation of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial. As part of Coins of America’s exclusive Mount Rushmore Series, this commemorative set pays tribute to the artistry, engineering, and patriotic spirit that shaped this granite masterpiece—and the dedicated efforts that continue to protect it today. Featuring a brilliant uncirculated 2013 Mount Rushmore National Park Quarter and a vintage unused U.S. postage stamp, this set blends numismatic value, historical education, and national pride into a striking display piece.

Encased in a crystal‑clear acrylic holder, the Preserving Rushmore set offers collectors a meaningful way to celebrate the legacy of Mount Rushmore and the ongoing work that ensures its preservation for future generations.

A Tribute to America’s Granite Monument

The Mount Rushmore National Memorial stands as a symbol of American ingenuity, perseverance, and democratic ideals. Carved into the granite cliffs of South Dakota’s Black Hills, the monument features 60‑foot likenesses of four presidents who shaped the nation’s development: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum envisioned the memorial as a tribute to the nation’s birth, growth, preservation, and development—a vision that continues to resonate nearly a century after the project began in 1927.

Today, Mount Rushmore welcomes millions of visitors each year, serving as a powerful reminder of the nation’s history and the enduring spirit of the American people.

Preserving a National Treasure

While Mount Rushmore appears timeless, preserving a monument carved into a mountainside requires constant care. The Preserving Rushmore set highlights the ongoing efforts of conservators, engineers, and the National Park Service to protect the memorial from natural erosion, extreme weather, and structural stress.

Preservation efforts include:

• Regular inspections of the granite surface and fissures
• Advanced sealing techniques to prevent water infiltration
• Monitoring of freeze‑thaw cycles, which can cause cracks
• Laser scanning and 3D mapping to track long‑term changes
• Careful maintenance of visitor areas and infrastructure

These efforts ensure that Mount Rushmore remains a lasting symbol of American heritage—an achievement worthy of commemoration in this collectible series.

The 2013 Mount Rushmore National Park Quarter

At the heart of this set is a brilliant uncirculated 2013 Mount Rushmore National Park Quarter, the final quarter released in 2013 and the 20th coin in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. This beautifully detailed coin features a unique perspective of the monument: a close‑up view of workers carving Thomas Jefferson’s likeness, highlighting the craftsmanship and labor behind the memorial’s creation.

Key features of the coin include:

• A dynamic design showing the carving process
• Brilliant uncirculated condition with sharp detail
• Official U.S. Mint issue from the America the Beautiful series
• A tribute to both the artistry and engineering of Mount Rushmore

This quarter is a favorite among collectors for its distinctive design and historical significance.

Vintage Unused U.S. Postage Stamp

Complementing the quarter is a vintage unused U.S. postage stamp, adding philatelic value and historical depth to the set. These classic stamps—no longer issued by the U.S. Postal Service—offer a nostalgic connection to America’s postal history and enhance the collectible appeal of the Preserving Rushmore edition.

Premium Acrylic Display Case

Both the coin and stamp are housed in a crystal‑clear acrylic display, offering:

• Protection from dust, handling, and environmental wear
• A sleek, modern presentation suitable for desks, shelves, or display cases

The durable acrylic ensures that your collectible remains pristine and display‑ready for years to come.
