Several of the coins feature one-year-only designs. Many belong to a family of annual products — you may want to consider subscribing to some of these using the U.S. Mint’s enrollment program to save money on shipping.

A summary of the upcoming products are below.

2018 Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Quarters

On Feb. 5, Pictured Rocks quarters in circulating quality become available. The coin marks the first 2018-dated release from the U.S. Mint’s America the Beautiful Quarters® Program and features a reverse design emblematic of the national lakeshore in Michigan.

This is an annual product series that is available by enrollment.

2018 American Liberty 1/10 oz. Gold Proof Coin

Set to launch on Feb. 8, the 2018 $10 American Liberty 1/10 oz. gold coin shows the same designs as the 2017 $100 edition. (See photos of the 2017 gold coin). That one is in high relief and struck from an ounce of 99.99% fine gold.

These two CoinNews photos show the obverse and reverse of the 1-ounce, 2017-dated American Liberty gold coin. This year’s coin is a smaller version, minted in 1/10-ounce gold.

This piece is being offered as a more affordable option to last year’s coin, which is still available for $1,740 and has sales of 27,580. Its smaller 1/10-ounce size lacks the high-relief of last year’s coin but it has the same proof finish. The coin’s price will be set on Feb. 7 — one day before its release, and it can change weekly. If it launched today, it would be $215.

2018 Pictured Rocks Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin

Debuting on Feb. 9 for $154.95, the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore 5-ounce silver coin has the same designs as the earlier mentioned Pictured Rocks quarter. The detail differences between the two are obvious given their size differences with quarters having a 0.955 inch diameter compared to 3.000 inches for the silver coin.
