Sales kicked off earlier this week for Shenandoah National Park Five Ounce Silver Bullion Coins, the second 2014 bullion issue from U.S. Mint’s series of America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Bullion Coins. It has a design identical to the Shenandoah National Park quarter.
These three-inch coins, which are struck for investors, are not offered directly to the public by the U.S. Mint at a static price like the collector uncirculated versions with the ‘P’ mint mark. They are sold through the U.S. Mint’s network of distributors for a few dollars over every ounce of silver they contain. The collectible version is scheduled to launch on May 15, 2014 for $154.95. The U.S. Mint released the Shenandoah quarters on March 31, 2014 and continues to sell them in rolls and bags.
