About the America the Beautiful Series
Beginning in 2010, the US Mint began releasing five silver ATB coins annually. The series of 5 oz silver coins will be complete in 2021 with 56 coins, each representing a treasured national park or historical monument from all US states and territories. These silver bullion coins were introduced following the success of the state quarter program.
