The Uncirculated 2016-P Theodore Roosevelt National Park 5-ounce silver quarter dollar is struck on the same press as the bullion version, but the dies striking it bear the P Mint mark, and the coins receive a post-strike finish. The bullion coin is struck with no Mint mark and receives no such treatment.
