The third week of April unveils six collector products from the United States Mint. The first features Chaco Culture National Historical Park Quarters in a Three-Coin Set and the remaining five products offer 2012-W Proof Gold Eagles.
Starting the week is the Tuesday, April 17, release of the Chaco Culture Quarters Three-Coin Set. Past coin sets have been popular with collectors. Over 10,000 were purchased during the first week of each of the previous eleven issues.
In the set are a proof quarter from the U.S. Mint facility in San Francisco, an uncirculated quarter struck in Philadelphia, and an uncirculated quarter minted in Denver. The U.S. Mint lists the quarters set for $9.95, which is $5 less than each of the 2011-dated and 2010-dated issues. Orders for the Chaco Culture Quarters Three-Coin Set may be placed through this U.S. Mint product page.
Thursday, April 19, marks the debut of the 2012-W Proof American Gold Eagles. Their prices will vary based on the amount of gold they contain, and will not be known until midweek. Four sizes will be sold individually, which include the one ounce, one-half ounce, one-quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce offerings. As always, the U.S. Mint will offer a four-coin set which contains them all. All proof Gold Eagles are packaged in a clear plastic coin holder and placed within a velvet, satin-lined presentation case.
Interested buyers will find the U.S. Mint product page for the Proof American Gold Eagles on this U.S. Mint page.
The United States Mint will place the new products on sale on their respective issue dates beginning at 12:00 noon ET.

The Mint went on to apologize for the inconvenience.
I think these new full color, full bleed backing cards for the ATB quarter 3-coin set are pretty darn stunning. Great eye appeal and attractive presentation. Wish they were closer to 3 or 4 bucks each, but I keep finding myself tempted to hit the “Place Order” button because they just look so awesome. And that my friends is what keeps collectors drooling for years to come..!
The Acadia 3-coin set’s card is quite impressive and a perfect background to the three quarters. Wish they would redo the first 10 in this format; the plain white card is just so blah.
where have you seen the Acadia card? Is there an image out there yet?
George,
Search for it by product name & under subscriptions. The next coin to be released is Acadia in any of the ATB subscriptions.
Found it..!! It is gorgeous like you said..!
I really love this series, they’re sensational looking
