After the end of the States Quarters Program in 2008, the United States Mint switched to producing bullion products in another series called the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. Rather than featuring state imagery like its previous sister collection, this new program features special imagery of parks from around the United States on quarters made with actual silver content. Currently, the 2013 U.S. Mint Silver Proof America the Beautiful Quarters Set can be purchased online from JM Bullion.

The 2013 U.S. Mint Silver Proof America the Beautiful Quarters Set features five different quarters that have all been struck in 99.9% silver. These quarters also have a proof finish, meaning the background of each quarter is mirrored while the designs are frosted. This offers a great visual contrast for anyone viewing the quarters set.

The America the Beautiful Quarters Program was first released in 2009 after the end of the States Quarters Program, which was in circulation from 1999 to 2008. The United States Mint went from featuring state imagery on the quarter to imagery showing national or historic parks across the United States and in its surrounding territories.

The 2013 U.S. Mint Silver Proof America the Beautiful Quarters Set features one obverse design on all five quarters, which is the portrait of George Washington. This portrait was originally created by John Flanagan in 1932 and is still the famous obverse design used on the United States quarter still today. Washington is known for his role as a leader and Founding Father in U.S. history.

There are five different reverse designs included in the 2013 U.S. Mint Silver Proof America the Beautiful Quarters set, which are as follows: the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial in Ohio, the Great Basin National Park in Nevada, the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Maryland, and the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota.
