2012 ATB Quarters Silver Proof Set

2012 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set (US Mint image)

The 2012 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set contains the five 2012 quarters issued by the United States Mint as part of the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program just like the similar 2012 America the Beautiful Quarters Proof Set. However, the five quarters included in this silver proof set are struck from 90% silver.

A release date of January 10, 2012 was used for the 2012 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set by the US Mint. When first issued, the sets were sold for $41.95, plus the Mint's standard shipping and handling charge of $4.95 per order.

As the five coins of this set are struck from 90% silver, the set has a combined silver content of 0.904 ounces. This gives each set an intrinsic melt value approximately equal to that amount of silver on the open market. Thus, if silver was trading for $30 an ounce, this set would have a melt value of about $27.12 - 0.904 ounces times $30 an ounce equals $27.12.

The following quarter-dollars in special collector proof condition are included in the set:

• 2012-S El Yunque America the Beautiful Quarter struck from 90% silver honoring El Yunque National Forest of Puerto Rico
• 2012-S Chaco Culture America the Beautiful Quarter struck from 90% silver honoring Chaco Culture National Historical Park of New Mexico
• 2012-S Acadia America the Beautiful Quarter struck from 90% silver honoring Acadia National Park of Maine
• 2012-S Hawaii Volcanoes America the Beautiful Quarter struck from 90% silver honoring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park of Hawaii
• 2012-S Denali America the Beautiful Quarter struck from 90% silver honoring Denali National Park of Alaska
