2014 ATB 5 Ounce Silver Coins, Release Dates and Designs

This week the United States Mint published new release dates for collector product launches in April, May and June and included exact availability dates for three of the five 2014 America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coins. 

The U.S. Mint also provided the release date for the first bullion version, which is this Monday, March 17, 2014.


2014 is the fifth year of issue for the series of three-inch, five-ounce America the Beautiful Silver Coins struck in bullion and collector versions. The silver coins this year will honor five national parks. Park names, site locations and the release dates for the collector versions include:

Site Names & Release Dates:

Great Smoky Mountains National Park (TN) - April 7, 2014
Shenandoah National Park (VA) - May 15, 2014
Arches National Park (UT) - June 12, 2014
Great Sand Dunes National Park (CO) - August 2014
Everglades National Park (FL) - November 2014

Bullion and collector versions bear identical designs, which are also common to the 2014 America the Beautiful Quarters.

The difference between the two types of silver coins is their finish and mint marks. Five-ounce silver bullion coins have no mint mark whereas collector five ounce silver un-circulated coins have a "P" mint mark for the Philadelphia Mint.

Both series of silver coins are struck at the Philadelphia Mint by the same coining press. Also, collector coins are sold directly by the U.S. Mint to the public while bullion coins are sold through the Mint’s network of distributors.

Pricing for the collector silver coins is $154.95 and will not change unless silver prices fluctuate significantly. Pricing of the bullion silver coins, which may be ordered from precious metal and coin dealers, changes constantly depending on the market value of silver.
