The United States Mint is wrapping up their 2011 product schedule with the final America the Beautiful Quarters® and Presidential $1 Coin related issues for November and December.

Two are 24-karat gold coins, three are bronze medals and there is a bronze set. Others consist of another America the Beautiful Quarters® Three-Coin Set, a Presidential $1 Coin & First Spouse Medal Set, a five ounce uncirculated silver coin, and another Presidential $1 Coin Cover.

Additionally, the last two America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coins were expected out in late 2011, but with the federal holiday schedule and the US Mint’s year end activities, it looks as if the last two 2011-dated strikes will end up postponed until 2012.

The order of those releases, plus a few recent ones, are displayed in the table below. The following table and links provide summary release information on each product.
