5-ounce details still not available

Even though the Mint has produced some quantities of each of the five America the Beautiful 5-ounce, 3-inch bullion coins, as of Oct. 20 it still could not say when sales would begin, or whether there would be proof numismatic versions.

In September it was revealed that 100,000 each of the five designs would be produced as bullion coins for sale to the Mint’s authorized purchaser network.

These sales might be conducted sequentially, or all designs could be made available at once.
