America the Beautiful Proof Sets
The launch of sales for the America the Beautiful Proof Sets started just about a month ago. At the present time there are both the standard proof set and the silver proof sets available for purchase directly from the US Mint.
The 2010 United States America the Beautiful Quarters Proof Set (Q5A) is available for sale for $14.95. They are made up of blanks that consist of 8.33% nickel and 91.66% cooper. These blanks are feed thru press twice to give them more detail than the coins in circulation. Then they are polished o a high luster finish. These are only minted at the San Francisco mint that is evident with the mark S on them.
The 2010 United States America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set (SV2) is available for sale for $32.95. These blanks are made of 90% pure silver that has a total weight of silver at 0.904 ounces. Just like the regular proof sets, the silver proof sets are only minted at the San Francisco mint.
At the present time both sets have sold over 100,000 units to the public for coin collecting purposes. These figures were helped since both sets had advance orders of over 70,000 units before they were available to the public.
The quarters included in both sets are the 2010 Hot Springs National Park, 2010 Yellowstone National Park, 2010 Yosemite National Park, Grand Canyon National Park and the Mount Hood National Park Quarters.
If a set of the circulation coins is more to your liking, the cost of a set of 5 is at $9.99. But since 3 of the coins have yet to be minted and there might be a limited minting of one of the coins, there is no guarantee they will ever be made available directly from the mint.
This is the latest updated news on the America the Beautiful Proof Sets for 2010.
