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.

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.

The first five coins of this set for coin collecting will have depictions of Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, Yosemite National Park in California, the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, and Mount Hood National Park in Oregon on the tail side. The face side will have a restored version of George Washington from the 1932 John Flanagan portrait.

The Proof Silver coin itself will be made of 0.999 fine silver. The diameter will be 3 inches and each will weigh about 5 ounces. There will be an America the Beautiful Quarters Proof Set, America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set, 100-coin America the Beautiful Quarters Bag, and America the Beautiful Quarters Two-Roll Sets.

The first quarters to go on sale will be the Hot springs National Park that is scheduled for an April release. The Proof Set will become available in May. The Silver Proof Set will be available in May or June. The Yellow Stone Quarter will be released in June. Yosemite should be available in July or August. The Grand Canyon is scheduled for a September release, and Mount Hood is listed for a November release date.

To date, the US Mint still claim there is a shortage of silver bullion blanks so the mandated law of producing the Silver Eagle might be ignored for another year so the America the Beautiful silver bullion coins can be produced.
