Toasting a Legacy: 250th Anniversary Army Silver Eagle Takes Flight
A historic moment in American annals and coin collecting recently transpired
as the official rollout of the 250th Anniversary United States
Army American Eagle Coin – an American Silver Eagle
special issue— took to the skies. The United States Mint's commemorative
American Silver Eagle issue celebrates a quarter-century of unrelenting U.S.
Army commitment, sacrifice, and devotion to defending the nation.
The United States Army was officially established on June 14, 1775, by the
Continental Congress and is one of the oldest and most revered institutions in
American history. The
American Eagle coin commemorates this lasting
heritage, combining patriotic iconography with the lasting popularity of one
of the world's most well-known
silver bullion coins.
This American Silver Eagle coin is minted in one troy ounce of .999 fine
silver, upholding the high purity that is the hallmark of the American Silver
Eagles series. The best feature of this coin is the addition of a special
privy mark to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. This
beautiful mark, bearing the U.S. Army badge, seamlessly incorporated into the
reverse design, lends a distinctive historical element to the legendary
"Walking Liberty" design by Adolph A. Weinman.
The timeless walking figure of Weinman's Liberty is supported on the obverse
of the coin, walking toward the sun with the American flag draped over her,
laurel and oak leaves in her hand. This design, used for the first time on the
1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar, is identical to American heritage and
freedom. The obverse of this
American Silver Eagle
features Emily Damstra's contemporary representation of the flying American
bald eagle grasping an oak branch in its talons, a design first launched in
2021.
The army eagle release is a Proof coin with beautifully struck relief,
mirrored fields and frosted devices, and testifying to the precise attention
to detail of the U.S. Mint in this case, its West Point facility ('W' mint
mark). With a fairly low mintage of just 100,000 coins and initial household
order restrictions, the coin is as much an honor as it is a coveted
collectible item. The demand was there, as the coin soon sold out on the U.S.
Mint website, propelling early premiums in the secondary market.
Commemorative coins such as the 250th Anniversary
Army Silver Eagle serve to tie the broader
population to history and national pride in a tangible physical form of
coinage. These coins are reminders that remain lingering long after meaningful
milestones and institutions that shape American identity. To coin collectors,
these limited-issue drops provide a means of possessing a piece of history
that is both aesthetically pleasing and of inherent value.
The series itself, the American Silver Eagle, which
debuted in 1986, has become an institution of investment and collecting within
the precious metal arena. Famed for its liquidity, recognizability, and
government-insured purity, the
american eagle coin is a go-to favorite of both
long-time bullion investors and new investors alike. Special issues such as
this 250th Anniversary army eagle assist in the popularity of the series,
bringing to attention the overall value of owning physical silver.
BOLD Precious Metals appreciates the appeal of these special issuances. While
our primary business lies in investing in a broad array of bullion products,
we can appreciate the merit in how such commemorative coins serve to expose
new generations to collecting and promote an appreciation for numismatics and
the history that goes along with it.
