In total there will be 56 different coins released commemorating national parks and national sites across our great land. Each of these quarters will have the standard face or head of the coin that was first designed by John Flanagan of George Washington in 1932.
For coin collecting, these quarters are being released in sets of 2 rolls of 40 coins each or a bag of 100 coins. There is no mint limit or order limitations associated with this coin.
The same coin is being released as the Quarter Dollar that is being struck with 0.999 pure silver with a total weight of 5 ounces. There is no release date set for any of these silver quarter dollars, but they are scheduled in the same year as the regular American the Beautiful coins are released for circulation. Also the proof sets should be available by August or September by estimates give by the US Mint which are made of 90% silver.
The program is to last for 11 years until all 56 coin designs are released to the American public. If you wish, there is a box on the US Mint website they you can subscribe to and receive a shipment of these coins as soon as they are released to the public.
