Next week the United States Mint will launch one five ounce coin and two circulating quarter products, keeping fans of the America the Beautiful coins series busy. Each release honors Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico.
Starting Monday, July 9, the U.S. Mint will begin selling the 99.9% pure silver five ounce 2012-P Chaco Culture National Historical Park coins for $204.95 each, just like the previous six in the program that are still for sale. The latest collector item is the second this year and 12th overall in the America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin series.
Collectors will, upon the coin’s launch, be able to buy one through the U.S. Mint product page located here.
Next, beginning on Thursday, July 12, San Francisco Mint struck Chaco Culture quarters will go on sale in 40-coin rolls and 100-coin bags. The Chaco Culture quarters are already in the U.S. Mint’s line up, but they are the ones produced in Philadelphia and Denver. The new coins are in circulation quality and bear San Francisco’s "S" mint mark.
The rolls and bags of quarters honoring New Mexico that are for sale now and the ones coming Thursday may be ordered from the U.S. Mint product page located here.
On their respective days, the items described above will become available at 12:00 noon ET. Besides the online ordering pages, buyers can make purchases via the U.S. Mint’s toll-free phone line at 1-800-USA-MINT.
