US Mint 5 oz National Sites series bullion This could be kind of cool.......Looks like the US mint will be producing some new 5 OZ silver Bullion coins that are duplicates of this new national sites quarter series for 2010. See Red Bolded area below! Press Releases September 9, 2009 Back to my search United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters� Program Announced 56 National Sites to be Honored in New Multi-Year Initiative WASHINGTON - The United States Mint today announced the nation will honor 56 national sites to be honored through the United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters Program. In 2010, the first year of the program, the agency will mint commemorative quarter-dollar coins honoring the Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, Yosemite National Park in California, Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona and Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon. The complete National Site Registry, which lists all 56 sites to be honored under the program, is available at http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/...n=siteRegister. The quarters will be issued sequentially each year, in the order in which the featured site was first established as a national park or site. "These new quarters will honor some of our most revered, treasured and beautiful national sites - majestic and historic places located throughout the United States and its territories that truly make us �America the Beautiful,'" United States Mint Director Ed Moy said. "The designs will help reinvigorate interest in our national parks, forests, fish and wildlife refuges, and other national sites, as well as educate the public about their importance to us and our history." Secretary of the Treasury Timothy F. Geithner approved the list of sites recommended by the United States Mint on August 25, 2009, after consultation with the governor or chief executive of each host jurisdiction and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. "The America the Beautiful series demonstrates our nation's commitment to the legacy of conservation while celebrating its natural beauty," said Treasurer of the United States Rosie Rios. "Like other commemorative coins, these quarters will be a valuable addition to the U.S. Mint's collection." "Since our Nation's founding, our coins have celebrated American ideals such as liberty and justice, our rich history and heritage, and the great Presidents and other leaders who have guided us," Salazar said. "I am pleased that these new quarters will now celebrate America the Beautiful, the spectacular natural wonders that are found in our national parks, wildlife refuges and public lands." "From Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon to White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, America's landscape is blessed with unmatched beauty," U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who oversees the National Forest Service, said. "Our national forests are national treasures and honoring them is an important step in preserving them for future generations." Effective today, customers may sign up to receive the United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters released each year through several new Online Subscription Programs - a two-roll set (one roll of 40 coins with the "P" mint mark for Philadelphia and one roll of 40 coins with the "D" mint mark for Denver); 100-coin bag (P); 100-coin bag (D); two 100-coin bags (P and D); 1,000-coin bag (P); 1,000-coin bag (D); two 1,000-coin bags (P and D); United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters Proof SetTM; and United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof SetTM, with the five coins struck in 90 percent silver.

Beginning in 2010, the designs on the reverse (tails side) of the United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters will rotate five times each year, with the final (56th ) coin in the series being released in 2021. The coins' obverse (heads) will feature a restored version of the familiar 1932 portrait of George Washington, including subtle details and the beauty of the original model. Additionally, under the United States Mint America the Beautiful Silver Bullion CoinTM Program, the United States Mint will mint and offer for sale silver bullion coins that are duplicates of the quarters. The bullion coins, to be struck in .999 fine silver, will be three inches in diameter and weigh five ounces. The fineness and weight will be edge-incused.

Re: US Mint 5 oz National Sites series bullion These coins sound awesome...I wouldnt mind owning 1 or 2...the question is will they sell them at a reasonable price or will they want $150+ a coin?

Re: US Mint 5 oz National Sites series bullion I freaking love edge lettering. Big rounds are potentially neat as hell. Sometime the larger art looks wonky but I could see the state scenes looking nicer with size... except for the already wonky ones.

Re: US Mint 5 oz National Sites series bullion Giant Quarter Replicas? It looks like they are going to be actual 25 cent peices as well. This is going to look worse than those lame giant eagles.

So according to the Mint, the legal tender value of silver is five cents an ounce? :sarc::confused_m:

Re: US Mint 5 oz National Sites series bullion I'm confused. The mint is having trouble keeping up with PM demand on the tried and trues yet they are now going to market large PM versions of proven popular designs... that is 50 different variations familiar to a large subsection of the populace who heretofore may have had no prior interest in PM investment. How do they expect to keep up?

I guess 5 oz blanks are easy to come by, but 1 oz balnks for proof and uncirculated ASEs are still impossible to find.... Maybe they figure no one will be able to afford 5 oz of silver by 2010. Like that big Gold coin Canada made ....

Since when is any legislation coming out of the US Congress based in fact and sound logic? They think all they have to do is legislate it and it magically happens.
