2010 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set

The 2010 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set is just one of the five different ways a person can obtain this new series from the US mint. This set is minted from blanks that are 90% silver. The only set with more silver is the Silver Bullion Quarter Dollar Set that is pressed from 0.999% silver.

This set is the latest release from the US Mint that became open for public purchase on May 27, 2010. The Hot Springs Coin is the only one currently in circulation, and this is the only way a coin collector can have copies of all five coins at this time.

The total weight of all five coins is 0.904 troy ounces. What sets the proof apart for normal coins the mint produce is that they are struck twice to three times to make sure the impression is clear on the coin. Each coin is also specially cleaned and polished to a mirror like finish, unlike the standard coins, which are not polished that way.

The current price from the US Mint for this set is $32.95, plus shipping and handling.

The only other coins from this series that are available at this time are the 100 coin bags and 2 rolls of the Hot Springs Coin. On June 3^rd, the second coin meant for circulation will be scheduled for release. This is the Yellowstone National Park Coin.

For those that enjoy coin collecting, the 2010 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set is the first set of an 11 year run. This could be your start to collecting this complete series without having to pay an additional charge once the mint stops producing this collector’s series.
