America the Beautiful 5-oz Silver Coin Remembers Battle at Vicksburg
.999 pure silver coin from the U.S. Mint provides both a great investment and collectors’ item for history buffs
Remembering yet another significant site in U.S. history, the next America the Beautiful series 5-oz silver coin commemorates the 47-day campaign, siege and defense of this strategic location along the Mississippi River. This stunning silver quarter is the 4 th in the America the Beautiful series to be released in 2011 and the 11 th overall.
For the reverse side of the coin, collectors will find a depiction of the U.S.S. Cairo, an ironclad gunboat, sailing up the Yazoo River during the battle. Being one of the first boats of its kind, the Cairo also became famous for being the first to be sunk by an electronically detonated torpedo.
After sitting at the bottom of the Yazoo River for nearly 100 years, the gunship was dug up and is now on display at the Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi.

I love the ATB 5-ounce series, but I wasn't too excited about the Vicksburg design from looking at the pictures. When I received the actual coin, I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it is. The pictures certainly don't do it justice."

The weight of this coin is really remarkable. I know it's a cliche, but you can really feel the value in your hand. The sheer size of this coin allows the detail of its design to come through clearly, and Provident should be thanked for the custom Air-Tite container they provide.
I've made five orders from Provident and have never been disappointed in their selection or service. I intend to continue buying from Provident in the future." |

My great grandfather served in the 11th Minnesota regiment, and fought with Grant in the Western campaign. We have letters written by him from Shiloh and he might have fought at Vicksburg. He was wounded in Louisiana at the battle of Spanish Fort, the second to last battle of the Civil War."

Beautiful Coin, Great Price & the quality of packaging and service was 5 star

Instead of opting for silver bars i went with this round. I was satisfied with its extreme shine and the great history on the coin. It did come in a nice plastic container to keep it clean. Just waiting for the gettysberg coin next. The shipping was fairly quick and discrete.

Like the looks of this coin. Price was good and Provident delivers…again!

Beautiful coin with mirror like finish. My favorite of the 2011 designs. Love the fact that PM throws in a capsule as well. Excellent customer service and super fast shipping as always.

The Provident shopping experience is superb…great website, too.

Simply put, a well packaged / shipped coin.
Design is a Beautiful Image of USS Cairo. Glad to be one of the first to receive this issue.
