Washington, DC, June 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The United States Mint (Mint) 2024 American Eagle One Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin produced at the Mint’s West Point facility will be released on June 6 at noon EDT, with orders limited to 10 coins per household for the first 24-hour sales period.
The American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin is the collector version of the official United States Mint American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin. Produced since 1986, this coin was updated in 2021 with a refreshed obverse (heads) and a completely redesigned reverse (tails) to mark the 35th anniversary of the American Eagle Coin Program.
Design and Security Features
Like its bullion counterpart, the obverse of the American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin features sculptor Adolph A. Weinman’s full-length figure of Liberty in full stride, enveloped in folds of the flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left. The coin has been redesigned to encompass some of Weinman’s original details, including the addition of his traditional artist mark. The reverse, created by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Designer Emily Damstra and sculpted by United States Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso, depicts an eagle landing while carrying an oak branch. These design updates and intricate details add to the coin’s aesthetic appeal.
To provide added security, the redesigned American Eagle Silver Coin includes a reed pattern variation, aligning with global anti-counterfeiting standards to ensure the authenticity of the coin.
