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.
