The United States Mint anticipates it will strike up to 500,000 America the Beautiful 5 oz silver bullion quarter coins in 2010.
U.S. Mint spokesman Michael White said the five 2010 bullion coins, which will feature the same designs seen on each of the 2010 circulating quarters, will likely start getting pressed this fall.

The United States Mint may yet be able to strike 2010 American Eagle Silver Proof Coins and 2010 American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coins this year, according to recent testimony from U.S. Mint Director Ed Moy before a House subcommittee, but apparently only with the help of the United States Congress.

And topmost interest for collectors, the hearing revealed the possibility of amending law to approve the minting of 2010 American Eagle Silver Proof and Uncirculated Coins at the the expense or producing fewer bullion versions.

Moy, Director, United States Mint, Larry Felix, Director, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Louise L. Roseman, Director, Division of Reserve Bank Operations and Payment Systems, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and Ken Jenkins, Deputy Special Agent in Charge, Criminal Investigative Division, U.S. Secret Service.
