New collector products with release dates in November and December were added to the U.S. Mint’s product schedule this week.
In a bit of a surprise, no products are currently scheduled for release in October.
Releases include products featuring the final 2012-dated America the Beautiful Quarter, Presidential $1 coin and the five ounce silver uncirculated coin. The annual circulating coin set of all five 2012 America the Beautiful Quarters is also scheduled for the first time.
All of the 2012 First Spouse Gold Coins, however, still have TBD, or "To Be Determined" listings. For more about this year’s 24-karat gold coins, read about what is delaying them.

All dates are subject to change "without prior notice," warns the U.S. Mint.
it’s already near end of 2012, and not 1 single spouse coin has been released.
in addition to the 4 spouses already scheduled in 2013, who has money to collect all 16 (8 proofs and 8 uncirculated) coins next year? especially with gold hanging around at this price, perhaps even higher next year.
