America the Beautiful quarters begin!

Now that NGC has dropped the trademarked "America the Beautiful" from their labels, will those that made it through prior carry a higher premium? http://editions.amospublishing.com/WDCN/Default.aspx?d=20100614&pagenum=1&f=1

I got my first hot springs quarter from circulation the other day, it was not in change from a shop. It was rubber cemented onto an appeal for funds from the Council of Indian Nations (CIN). Many charities will send coins thru the mail looking for donations. This was the first time a charity has mailed me a quarter tho, I have gotten cents, nickels, and dimes before, even the odd check or two, first quarter and it was a hotsprings.

 

I'm not sure if it wasn't available before (maybe it was updated recently), but the US Mint website definetely sells the Silver Proof Set now. I tried an order over the weekend and am looking forward to getting my hands on some uncirculated coins.

 

Ah, come on! If you were an old time collector, you'd appreciate the 56 different reverses, rather than the same old coin with just a different date/mint mark.

 

It's unbelievable they would start another 10 year project with the quarter series so soon after the State Quarter Program. But, I guess it got so many new collector's into collecting, that they figure sooner the better.

It got me, so that is probably true. Let me give you a bit of advice here. If YOU are going to collect this new series, collect the SILVER PROOF.!!

I didn't collect the Silver proof state quarters because I didn't even know it was avaliable. So I had to pay big money for the 1999 Silver proof set.

If you truly want to hand this set down as an heirloom set, just get it in Silver. Good luck collecting.!!!

oh, and I am passing on the bullion 5 oz. nothing puck...

 

Would you go for it if the pricing were close to bullion levels? (We haven't heard even a peep of a hint about the pricing, have we?).

 

Considering distribution is supposed to be through the authorized bullion dealer network, and the legislation treats it as a bullion coin, I would expect it to be priced like one. Spot plus $1.50 per oz to the the authorized distributors. Possibly $2 per oz over because of the extra difficulty of production. That's just a guess of course.

Now of course if they ignore the law and also make collector versions as well, who knows what those would cost.
