As a coin collector, you need to be on top of the newest coins to be released every year. 2012 has some cool coins coming out from the U.S Mint as well as other foreign mints. There are more releases to collections already put out as well as brand new coins in their own class. The first to come out is the next set in the United States Mint America the Beautiful quarters. These state quarters will focus on a variety of beautiful natural parks and preserves. The set for 2012 was released January 17th and includes five quarters commemorating the El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico, the Chaco Cultural National Historical Park in New Mexico, Acadia National Park in Maine, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and Denali National Park and Reserve in Arkansas. All together the set will have 56 quarters. Since it only just started in 2010, now is the time to catch up if you haven't already started collecting these coin sets. There were also be subsequently a two roll set and a three coin set of the El Yunque National Forest quarter, which will be released the end of January and beginning of February, respectively. The Infantry Soldier Silver Dollar will be released mid February, commemorating the original formation of 10 companies which were the first elements of the U.S. Armed Forces as we've come to know them today. The obverse will have an image of an infantry soldier charging forward, while the reverse will have the crossed rifle insignia, a universally recognized symbol as all infantry members wear it. The Chester Arthur $1 coin rolls will be released on February 16th, featuring our 21st president. Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison and a second term Grover Cleveland dollar coins will be released after. Originally these coins were meant to be mass released, but in 2011 the U.S. Mint decided to only make them for collectors. This now makes them a pretty special set to get so you should jump on these now since again, they are a relatively new collection so it would be easy to catch up. Keep track of these collections as well as any newly released from the Royal Australian Mint and the British Royal Mint, as they have a few new collectible coins for 2012 that will be sure to catch any collector's eye. There's a lot of great new designs to add to your collection.
