Mintage Limit is the total number of a coin manufactured across all products. (For example, a coin may be available in rolls and in our annual sets).
Product Limit is the number of a coin made available in the individual product.
Household Order Limit In cases where we have limited-mintage products (e.g., legislatively mandated or Mint established production or mintage limits), the United States Mint may impose order or household order limits. Order limits help us ensure that we provide fair purchase opportunities to the broadest audience possible. As we monitor our products, limits may be implemented, adjusted, or removed at our discretion.
2017 America the Beautiful Quarters® Program – Ellis Island Rolls and Bags are now available.
The Ellis Island quarter is the fourth iteration in the 2017 America the Beautiful Quarters® and 39th overall in the program. From 1892 to 1954, Ellis Island was the largest and most active immigration station in the United States, where approximately 12 million immigrants were processed.
On average, the inspection process took approximately three to seven hours. For the vast majority of immigrants, Ellis Island truly was an “Island of Hope”—the first stop on their way to new opportunities and experiences in the United States.
The reverse (tails) design depicts an immigrant family approaching Ellis Island with a mixture of hope and uncertainty. Inscriptions are “ELLIS ISLAND,” “NEW JERSEY,” “2017,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
