To commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the American Eagle Silver Coin Program, the United States Mint offered a unique limited-edition set of five one-ounce American Eagle Silver Coins.  This American Eagle Five-Coin Set is an exquisite collection that captures the essence and beauty of these cherished coins – in stunning proof, reverse proof, satin finish and bullion versions minted at the West Point, San Francisco and Philadelphia branches of the Mint.  The set contains one each of the following 2011-dated coins:

• Silver Eagle Reverse Proof Coin – mint mark: “P” (Philadelphia)
• Silver Eagle Proof Coin – mint mark: “W” (West Point) 
• Silver Eagle Satin Finish Coin – mint mark: “W” (West Point)
• Silver Eagle Satin Finish Coin – mint mark: “S” (San Francisco)
• Silver Eagle Bullion Coin – no mint mark

What makes this set truly special is the inclusion of the rare Reverse Proof coin.  Minted in the opposite way that Proof coins are, Reverse Proofs feature a frosted background with mirror-bright images and are never sold individually by the Mint - only in special collectors sets.  2011 is just the second time that Reverse Proofs have been offered (the first time was in 2006 in celebration of the Eagle’s 20th anniversary) making these scarce, low-mintage coins truly a collector’s dream come true.  The 2006 Reverse Proof coin has risen in value by more than 1,500%.

These much-coveted sets, limited to an edition of 100,000, sold out at the Mint in less than five hours and prices are sky-rocketing.  We have a limited edition of just 48 Inaugural Strike sets in 70 grade.  Once they’re gone, no more can be sold.

Examined and certified by an independent third party grading company, each .9993 silver coin has been certified as an Inaugural Strike edition, meaning they were among the first coins struck by the Mint.  The coins are also graded in flawless “70” grade - the highest grade a coin can achieve.  The Proof coins have a Deep Cameo (abbreviated DCAM) finish, meaning they have a deeply frosted design and lettering that contrast with the mirror-like fields.  Each coin is encapsulated in a tamper-proof holder to protect its condition for the future and to preserve the “Inaugural Strike” certification.
