America the Beautiful is a series of five-ounce silver coins. Minted from the year 2010 and scheduled to continue until the year 2021, the United States Mint issued and continuously issues these collectible coins. However, with the Secretary of the Treasury’s discretion, the issuance of the series may extend until the year 2033.
Almost all of the America the Beautiful five-ounce silver coins that are being released have designs of U.S. national sites and parks. The Hot Springs National Park was issued in 2010, Glacier National Park was issued in the year 2011, Acadia National Park in the year 2012, and White Mountain National Forest in 2013 to name a few. Until the year 2021, there will be specific designs depicting national and historic sites and parks. These designs will include Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge to be released this September, Cumberland Gap National Historical Park in the year 2016, and Ozark National Scenic Riverways in the year 2017. The designs aim to give awareness to people that said site or park is considered a national site, and for the locals to be proud of their own places.
The front view of the America the Beautiful coin will portray a portrait of George Washington in a restored version of the original portrait used for the 1932 Washington Quarter.
The US Mint started selling uncirculated 40-coin rolls and 100-coin bags of silver bullion coins with the San Francisco mint mark. The designs showed the El Yunque of Puerto Rico. This selling continued and in the year 2013, there was a 1.4 million mintage for each design, solely in the San Francisco mint.
The set of coins was not part of the 2012 uncirculated sets or the three-coin America The Beautiful coin sets, composed of uncirculated “P”, “D”, and proof of “S” specimen. There was no “S” mint-marked in the circulation.
In the U.S., there is a direct Mint sale of the bags and rolls which continued even with the 2013 America the Beautiful silver coin issues.
In December of 2010, collector versions of the America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coin Program were released. The collectible coins featured an uncirculated finish with “P” mint mark. The “P” mark means that there were being struck in Philadelphia. However, there was only an estimated 27,000 mintage of the collectible coins resulting in insufficient time to strike more. This created issues with the silver bullion coins and even with the America the Beautiful Five-Ounce series.
This forced the Mint to issue Hot Springs Coins in the year 2011, making it highly in demand for the first hours of its release. In fact, there were 19,000 orders for the first nine hours of availability. Each coin was sold for $279.95.
