Other details of the reverse include the inscriptions "SAN ANTONIO," “TEXAS,” “2019” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”

America the Beautiful Quarters capture the breathtaking beauty of America’s natural landscapes that have inspired countless poets, adventurers, and artists.The U.S. is honoring our Nation"s national parks and historic sites on quarters featuring five new designs each year.

Released in 2019, the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park Quarter features the same elements of the Spanish Colonial Real coin to pay tribute to the Spanish missions in North America. Within the quadrants are symbols of the missions: wheat symbolizes farming; the arches and bell symbolize community; a lion represents Spanish cultural heritage; and a symbol of the San Antonio River represents irrigation methods and life-sustaining resources.

This particular coin is a beautifuldeep cameogem proof quarter. The raised parts of a cameo proof coin appear frosted while the plain, flat areas have a mirror-like appearance. Similar to coin shown.

The America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin™ – San Antonio Missions National Historical Park (Texas) is the fourth release of 2019 in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. This reverse (tails) design depicts elements of the Spanish Colonial Real coin to pay tribute to the missions. Within the quadrants are symbols of the missions: wheat symbolizes farming; the arches and bell symbolize community; a lion symbolizes Spanish cultural heritage; and a symbol of the San Antonio River symbolizes irrigation methods and life-sustaining resources. Inscriptions are “SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS,” “TEXAS,” “2019,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.&rdquo

The San Antonio Missions made up one of the largest concentrations of Spanish missions in North America during the 1700s and helped create the foundation for the city of San Antonio. The missions were built as walled compounds containing the church, living quarters, workshops, storerooms, and fortified towers. The blending of cultures is reflected in the 18th century Spanish architecture and the indigenous designs.

The missions were built close together because of the natural resources found near the San Antonio River. Construction of aqueducts and irrigation canals (acequias) brought water to the missions, sustaining farming and ranching. The missions’ toolmaking, carpentry, looming, spinning, and masonry further contributed to the community’s ability to be self-sustaining.

The first 2019-W America the Beautiful quarter dollars entered circulation around April 1, with four designs now in circulation. The 2019-W quarters are part of the United States Mint’s efforts under Mint Director David J. Ryder to make collecting fun for collectors.

Many collectors remain frustrated, though, in a futile search for the coins. Not many have had the kind of luck that “Michael V” had, who senior editor Paul Gilkes interviewed for his Page 1 article on the release of the 2019-W San Antonio Missions National Historical Park quarter dollar, the latest of the five 2019-W coins planned. That collector found more than a dozen pieces in a box of coins acquired from a local bank.

Developing a search strategy is important, though it would be helpful to know more about where the coins are being shipped. When the Mint released the first two 2019-W coins, it also provided a list of cities that would be the first to get them. That was helpful for collectors, who could use that information to plan their search strategy. However, when asked for that same information in connection with the latest release, Mint officials declined to provide such information.

Collector frustration at being unable to find the coins is understandable. So are the feelings some express at a seeming lack of fairness, upon seeing dealers with quantities of the 2019-W coins in inventory and reading stories of bank tellers striking it rich in finding the coins.

Your best approach may be patience. It will take time for the 2019-W quarters to make their way to most corners of the country. Some regions get new coins more quickly than others.

The Missions National Historical Park is represented with this design that has elements of a Spanish colonial coin. It’s on the new quarter that’s a part of the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. It’s the fourth in the series to be released this year and the 49th overall.

You can now purchase the coins from the U.S. Mint website. Prices start at $18.95 for a roll of 40 quarters and go up to $46.95 for three rolls. Bags with 100 coins are also available for $34.95.

A special launch and exchange event will be held Thursday, September 5 at 10 a.m. at Trinity University"s Laurie Auditorium. In exchange for $10, you can receive a roll of these special quarters! For more information, visit the U.S. Mint website.

The San Antonio Missions are a reminder of one of Spain’s most successful attempts to extend its territories north from New Spain (present-day Mexico) in the 1700s.

The San Antonio Missions made up one of the largest concentrations of Spanish missions in North America during the 1700s and helped create the foundation for the city of San Antonio. The missions were built as walled compounds containing the church, living quarters, workshops, storerooms, and fortified towers. The blending of cultures is reflected in the 18th century Spanish architecture and indigenous designs.

The missions were built close together because of the natural resources found near the San Antonio River. Construction of aqueducts and irrigation canals (acequias) brought water to the missions, sustaining farming and ranching. The missions’ toolmaking, carpentry, looming, spinning, and masonry further contributed to the community’s ability to be self-sustaining.

The reverse (tails) design depicts elements of the Spanish Colonial Real coin to pay tribute to the missions. Within the quadrants are symbols of the missions: wheat symbolizes farming, the arches and bell symbolize community, a lion represents Spanish cultural heritage, and a symbol of the San Antonio River represents irrigation methods and life-sustaining resources. Inscriptions are "SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS," "TEXAS," "2019," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."

“This type of ceramic is one of the oldest types of Spanish colonial ceramics that could make its way to San Antonio,” Nichols said. “But we are getting materials that are probably at that very earliest contact between the Spanish and the Native Americans in town…chip stone pieces, stone scrapers and we’ve even gotten quite a bit of pieces of the ceramic that we call Goliad.”

The Puebla Polychrome discovery was made during an unprecedented archaeological and preservation project that began about six weeks ago to study the Long Barrack’s structure, including the lower footings of its original mission-era west wall that now are several feet below ground. In 2017, the Legislature approved $75 million requested for the Alamo by the General Land Office, including $31 million for reconstruction of the church and Long Barrack.

Nichols, whose archaeological specialty is ceramics, said Puebla Polychrome also has been found in Florida and other Spanish missions in Texas. Archaeologists have encountered it at the Spanish Governor’s Palace, site of San Antonio’s early 1700s presidio, and near Mission Concepción, reinforcing theories that Mission San José was originally established there in 1720, in the form of huts and adobe structures, before that mission moved farther south on the San Antonio River.

“Getting these ceramics from Mexico was a tough ordeal,” she said. “If you imagine you only had a mule train bringing your supplies once or twice a year, and to transport ceramics from Mexico into San Antonio meant that you could potentially get raided, or you could potentially have a lot of pieces break on the way…that’s one of the reasons why we tend to see more of the locally made stuff in the missions, because they had to use it constantly, and it was cheaper to have.”

Archaeologists have noted the piece of glazed earthenware appears to have a “cobweb” design in black and white that may have originated in Spain. Since the Long Barrack was previously part of a convento, or priests’ quarters, the artifact likely is tied to use by mission friars, Nichols said.

After digging about five feet below the flagstone floor surface, Raba Kistner teams found what they believe is the base of the Long Barrack’s original mission-era west wall, the oldest intact structure at the Alamo, with a foundation dating to the 1720s. Since the building was constructed as a two-story structure, experts believe its foundation was laid at least two feet below the 1700s ground surface to support the walls.

In other work above ground to preserve the Alamo’s iconic mission church, experts have been using ground-penetrating radar and infrared and point cloud imaging to monitor moisture and decomposition in the building’s fragile limestone walls, while studying the structural strength of the church’s century-old roof, made of concrete and steel rebar.

Rush Enterprises (NASDAQ:RUSHA) reported strong first quarter 2019 revenues of nearly $1.34 billion on April 24, up 8.7 percent from $1.24 billion compared with the previous year.

The company’s net income in the first quarter was $37.1 million, or $0.98 cents per diluted share, up 76.6 percent compared to net income of $21 million, or $0.51 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2018. This exceeded analysts’ expectations of $0.88 per share for the first quarter of 2019.

Excluding the ERP platform expense, Rush’s adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2019 was $28.7 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, the company said.

Aftermarket products and services accounted for approximately 64 percent of the company’s total gross profit in the first quarter of 2019, with parts, service and collision repair revenue reaching $438.4 million, up 9.5 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018.

“Growth in our aftermarket parts and service revenue was primarily driven by our successful execution of various strategic initiatives and continued strong demand for aftermarket parts and services throughout the country,” Rush said in the release.

Rush Enterprises increased its total number of technicians by 85 in its more than 100 dealerships nationwide in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the same period a year ago.

In March, the company also launched RushCare Parts Connect, “a comprehensive online source for all-makes parts and the requisite next step that we believe will enable us to achieve our parts sales growth goals,” the company said in the release.

U.S. Class 8 sales were 64,374 trucks in the first quarter of 2019, up 24.5 percent from the same period a year ago, according to ACT Research. Rush reported it sold 3,558 new Class 8 trucks in the first three months of the year, an increase of 7.4 percent compared to the same quarter in 2018.

Rush Enterprises expects its new Class 8 truck sales to remain on pace with its first quarter performance in the second and third quarters, Rush said.

The company sold 2,614 Class 4-7 medium-duty commercial vehicles in the first quarter of 2019, down 3.4 percent compared with the same period a year ago, and accounted for 4.2 percent of the U.S. Class 4-7 commercial vehicle market. ACT is forecasting U.S. retail sales of medium-duty vehicles to reach 262,300 trucks in 2019, a 1.6 percent increase from the first quarter of 2018.

“We believe our 2019 medium-duty sales will accelerate through the rest of 2019 as we continue to see strong demand from our customers,” Rush said in the earnings release. “We believe that this strong Class 4-7 truck sales market may help to partially offset any downturn in the new Class 8 truck sales market that may occur toward the end of the year.”

“Used truck values remained stable in the first quarter but will likely come under pressure later in 2019,” Rush said. “We believe our used truck inventory is positioned appropriately given current used truck market conditions.”
