No America the Beautiful silver coin collection is complete without at least one of the very first silver quarters issued in the series. The 2010 5 oz ATB Hot Springs Silver Coin was issued in 2010 and is the first of the 56 designs released.
One of the common characteristics of coins in the ATB quarter series is the portrait of George Washington. This image, along with the standard inscriptions of United States of America, Quarter Dollar, Liberty and In God We Trust, appear on the obverse of all quarters in the program. The image was designed by John Flanagan for the 1932 coin and has been on the quarter ever since.
The reverse sides of the ATB coins are unique in each issue. Each state, territory and federal district in the country has a coin that represents it, and the 2010 ATB Hot Springs Silver Coin is Arkansas’ entry. The image on the reverse side depicts the Hot Springs National Park headquarters building, and there’s a fountain in the foreground of the design.
This coin has a particularly complex historic connection. The national site at Hot Springs was set up to conserve water from dozens of natural springs that were thought to offer health benefits. The area also has other historical sites, including prehistoric American Indian quarries.

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
"We loved our experience at IDC. Jason was very kind and patient with us. My fiancée and I found good options for our wedding bands. He made sure we found what we were looking for and provided all the details we needed, including comfort, value, and style. We also felt safe and comfortable at their shop, thanks to the double doors and security guard."
"Jason was absolutely amazing! Extremely professional and very knowledgeable in helping us with the ring selection process. We actually ended up taking his advice on the bands and are very happy with our decision. We absolutely enjoyed our wedding band shopping experience and would recommend Jason to future buyers as well!"
"Lila was extremely helpful. My finance and I were on a tight time crunch to get wedding bands and she was very knowledgeable and swift with making sure we had rings for our ceremony. She suggested great bands and was so kind and honest through our selection. I will definitely return to IDC and always ask for Lila!"
