Us Mint Silver Coins

The U.S. Mint launched the American Eagle Coin Program in 1986 with gold and silver bullion coins for investors. The program has since expanded to include platinum and palladium coins. The Mint also makes proof and uncirculated versions of the American Eagle coins for collecting.

The obverse of the American Eagle Gold Coins features a version of Liberty first used on the 1907 $20, or “double eagle” coin. The design, by famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, shows Liberty facing forward, holding a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. The reverse depicted an eagle grasping an olive branch flying above a nest of eagles. Starting in 2021, the gold coins feature a newly designed portrait of an eagle on the reverse and a refreshed obverse.

The obverse of the American Eagle Silver Coins uses the “Walking Liberty” design by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman from the 1916 half dollar. Liberty walks in profile, draped in the folds of the American flag. Her right arm is extended and she carries laurel and oak branches in her left. The reverse depicted a heraldic eagle with a shield, grasping an olive branch in the right talon and arrows in the left. Starting in 2021, the coins feature a new reverse showing an eagle carrying an oak branch coming to land and a refreshed obverse.

The Mint first released American Eagle Platinum Coins in 1997. The bullion coin features the Statue of Liberty on the obverse and a soaring eagle on the reverse. The proof coin design changes each year.

The American Eagle Palladium Coins were first released in 2017 as bullion and 2018 as proof. Like the silver coins, the palladium coins re-create historic designs by Adolph Weinman. The obverse features Liberty wearing a cap with wings used on the 1916 Mercury dime. The reverse shows an eagle grasping a branch first used on the 1907 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal.

The U.S. Mint produced its first legal tender platinum proof coin in 1997. Its $100 face value is the highest denomination for a U.S. legal tender coin. Produced for collectors, it bears the “W” mint mark of the West Point Mint, where it is produced. This precious metal coin has a limited mintage and may be purchased directly from the Mint.

From 1997 to 2017, the American Eagle Platinum Proof Coin shared a common obverse that depicted the Statue of Liberty. The coin’s reverse featured a variety of themed series designs, including:

• Portrait of Liberty (1997)
• Vistas of Liberty (1998 to 2002)
• Foundations of Democracy (2006 to 2008)
• Preamble to the Constitution (2009 to 2014)
• Torches of Liberty (2015 and 2016)

In 2017 for the 20th anniversary of the platinum proof program, the coin bore its original 1997 design. From 2018 to 2020, the Mint issued the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence Series. The obverse designs featured a different scene with Liberty each year. The common reverse showed an eagle in flight carrying an olive branch.

FEBRUARY 4, 2021 BY SCHIFFGOLD

Last year’s surge in demand for investment gold and silver continued into January if sales at the US Mint are any indication.

American Gold Eagle bullion coin sales were up 455% in 2020 and the selling continued through the first month of 2021. The mint called the current market demand for precious metals coins “exceptional.”

Demand for physical gold and silver surged last year as smart investors sought safe haven from a record-breaking expansion in the money supply, record federal budget deficits, and quantitative easing set to infinity. While overall demand for gold was down on the year, investment demand hit record levels, according to the World Gold Council. Globally gold coin sales reached a record high of 297.6 tons last year. That was 10% above the previous high of 271 tons set in 2013.

Investment in gold and silver didn’t appear to slow down any in January. According to the US Mint, American Gold Eagle sales were up 267% year-on-year last month, totaling 220,500 ounces. It was the strongest month for Gold Eagle sales since April 2013.

The Mint sold 884,000 ounces of American Gold Eagle coins last year.

Silver Eagle sales were also up year-on-year in January. The US Mint reported 4,775,000 ounces of silver American Eagle coins sold, a 24.15% increase. It was the best January for silver coin sales at the mint since 2017.

According to a Bloomberg report, the US Mint is rationing sales of Silver Eagles and also allocating gold and platinum coin sales to authorized purchasers only. In a statement, the Mint said the policy will remain in place “for the foreseeable future.”

The US Mint continues to struggle to meet high demand due to limited supplies and capacity reductions due to the coronavirus. The mint had to temporarily shut down production at its New York facility last April due to COVID 19. Due to production cuts, there were no half, quarter, or tenth-ounce Gold Eagle coins available several months last year.

Looking ahead to 2021, production issues will likely continue to be a problem. Mint officials said there is a limited window to produce gold and silver coins this year due to the release of redesigned coins scheduled for this summer.

Overall demand for physical gold should remain brisk in 2021. There is no end in sight to the borrowing, the spending, and the money printing. Peter Schiff has been predicting inflation pressures will ramp up significantly in the coming year. In fact, we’re already seeing the impacts of the rampant money printing on prices. For instance, import costs have doubled and in some cases tripled. Commodity and agricultural prices are up, along with the price of oil.

Analysts have also noted that demand for physical gold tends to increase during Democratic presidential administrations.
