2013 Silver Sets

The 2013 Silver Sets issued by the US Mint that year should include the 2013 United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set™ as well as the 2013 United States Mint Silver Proof Set™. Combined, these two proof sets contain a total of 2.242 ounces of silver.

That precious metal content is owed to the fact that several coins in each proof set are struck from a composition of 90% silver. Broken out, the 2013 Quarters Silver Proof Set contains 0.904 ounces and the 2013 Silver Proof Set contains 1.338 ounces of silver.

Coins in both proof sets are struck to proof quality at the US Mint’s facility in San Francisco. This facility is typically responsible for striking the numismatic proof versions of the circulating coins issued by the US Mint of which the coins in these collections are composed of.

2013 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set

The 2013 Quarters Silver Proof Set contains the five 2013 National Park Quarters struck as part of the US Mint’s America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. These quarters honor sites of national interest from around the United States and its territories including national parks, national forests, etc.

Each of these quarters are struck from 90% silver and are scheduled to be included as part of this set:
