Today, April 25, 2011, the United States Mint began selling the first two 2011-dated 5 oz America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins to their established network of Authorized Purchasers (AP’s).

Mintages for 2011 America the Beautiful Quarters started smaller than the 2010 dated coins by several million.
