The United States Mint has announced the availability of three new America the Beautiful Quarters sets. The release dates for these collector sets have not yet been established, but customers may begin placing subscription orders starting on May 19, 2010.
The new sets will showcase the first five quarters of the new America the Beautiful Quarters Program. The five coins, which will also be issued for circulation, feature 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 three new sets are the following:

A separate three coin set will be issued for each of the 2010 quarter releases. The offering price will be $13.95 per set.
America the Beautiful Quarters Uncirculated Coin Set - This set includes five uncirculated coins from the Philadelphia Mint and five uncirculated coins from the Denver Mint, representing each of the five 2010 quarter releases. The US Mint plans to issue subsequent sets annually including each year's quarters. The offering is priced at $21.95.
America the Beautiful Quarters Circulating Coin Set - This set includes five circulating quality coins from the Philadelphia Mint and five circulating quality coins from the Denver Mint, representing each of the 2010 quarter releases.
