National Parks Quarters


The United States Mint has released a bit of information on when the new 2010, America the Beautiful Quarters will be released. The schedule doesn't give specific dates but does state the month each of the first five quarters in the National Parks Series will be released.

Here is what we know so far:

  • April - In mid to late April, the US Mint will release bags and two roll sets of the Hot Springs National Park Quarters

  • May - Early in May the US Mint will offer the 2010 United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters Clad Proof Set™ for sale

  • May / June - In late May or early in June the US Mint will offer the 2010 United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set™ for sale

  • June - Also early in June, the US Mint will release bags and two roll sets of the Yellowstone National Park Quarters

  • July - Sometime in July the US Mint will release 2010 United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set®

  • July / August - In late July or early August, the United States Mint will release the 2010 United States Mint Proof Set® and also will release bags and two roll sets of the Yosemite National Parks Quarters

  • August / September - Sometime in late August or in early September the US Mint will release 2010 United States Mint Silver Proof Set™

  • September - In mid September, the US Mint will release bags and two roll sets of the Grand Canyon National Park Quarters

  • November - In November, the US Mint will release the final quarter of 2010, bags and two roll sets of the Mount Hood National Forest Quarters will be released.

There is no mention as to a release date for the silver bullion coins yet.



The National Parks Quarters series will begin in 2010 and go for a minimum of eleven years. The new series will consist of at least 56 quarters released at a rate of five per year with reverse designs featuring a National Park or National Site from each state, territory, and the District of Columbia.

The option to extend the America the Beautiful Quarters™ Program an additional eleven years exist if there is a large enough demand for the quarters to continue. I can easily see this happening with so many National Parks, Sites, National Forest, Battlefields and Monuments. It would be a shame to leave some of them out. Choosing only one National Park or National Monument from each state is extremely difficult.

Are you one of the thousands that got hooked on coin collecting when the State Quarters came out in 1999? Wasn't it fun collecting quarters from each state? Did you get coins with each US Mint mark? Denver (D), Philadelphia (P) and San Francisco (S)? Did you collect just one quarter from each state or did you stock up with a roll from each state and each mint? Maybe you filled in a map or collected proof sets for each annual release.

Did you know that the 1999 Silver 9 coin proof set is now selling for over $250. on eBay? Keep a watch on these auctions and check the winning bid after the auction has ended. You will see that there are coin dealers and novice coin collectors making a nice profit on their quarter rolls and proof set. Do you own one or more of these proof sets? Bet you wish you did! Those that got in collecting the State quarters early are reaping the rewards of a wise investment.

I am personally a big fan of the National Park system. If you've never visited a National Park I highly recommend you do so. Watch the travel channel, order a video or get a book and figure out which of the beautiful places you would like to visit. I personally love the parks out west. So much too see, so little time.

Let's give credit where credit is due! On June 4, 2008, the bill H.R. 6184: America’s Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008 was introduced by Rep. Michael Castle of Delaware.

The legislation was approved by the House of Representatives on July 9, 2008. It was later approved by the Senate on December 10, 2008. The bill was signed into law on December 23, 2008 by President Bush. After that point, it became Public Law No: 110-456
