America the Beautiful Quarter

About This Series

America the Beautiful quarters replaced the State Quarter program in 2010 with 56 designs honoring national parks and historic sites, five per year through 2021. The series also produced three-inch, five-ounce silver bullion versions of each design - a popular sub-specialty of their own. Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas was the first release; Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site in Alabama was among the final 2021 issues. Standard clad coins are collected by date and mintmark. A complete set of the five-ounce silver pieces is a substantial undertaking by weight alone, roughly 17 pounds of silver.
