The 2016-P Shawnee opened the seventh year of the America's Beautiful National Parks program and the first 2016 release in a sequence that ran through Cumberland Gap, Harpers Ferry, Theodore Roosevelt, and Fort Moultrie. Susan Gamble's reverse, sculpted by Don Everhart, shows the wilderness area's Camel Rock formation rising from the oak-hickory canopy of Illinois's Shawnee National Forest, the only national forest in the state. Philadelphia struck 155,600,000 pieces, a moderate-to-firm figure that placed Shawnee at the lower end of the year's Philadelphia output range and reflected steady Federal Reserve quarter demand through the early 2016 ordering cycle.
Strike quality on the issue tracks the broader Philadelphia 2016 run: dies were generally well maintained, but the fine reverse detail on the Camel Rock face and the wooded foreground is where graders separate gem from near-gem. Look for soft strike on the rock formation's upper plane and any flattening in the leaf texture below, which signals worn dies past their middle service life. The clad composition (75% copper-nickel over a pure copper core, 5.67 grams, 24.26 mm) matches every quarter struck since 1965, so counterfeit risk is functionally nil and the high-grade market runs through PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) and NGC slabs rather than raw-coin authentication. Roll hunters working original P-mint bags still recover MS65 examples without much difficulty.
As a collecting target, the coin is a Regular-classification entry where the action happens at MS67 and above. Population reports show meaningful drops between MS66 and MS67, with the higher grade carrying a real premium and MS68 examples thinning to the low triple digits at PCGS. Series builders chasing the full 56-design ATB run typically pick the issue up raw or in MS66 slabs and reserve real money for the date in MS68, where supply genuinely does not keep up with registry-set demand. For the broader story of the ATB program and the series' design arc, see the Washington ATB series history.
