April 27, 2020 2020 American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins Produced in Philadelphia In light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the United States Mint has temporarily reduced production in its facilities in order to reduce the risk of employee exposure to COVID-19. The health and safety of the Mint workforce remains our highest priority. Typically, American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins are minted at the Mint’s West Point facility. However, due to the reduced production at the West Point facility amid the coronavirus pandemic, from April 8 until April 20, 2020, the United States Mint at Philadelphia produced 240,000 American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins. These 2020 American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins minted in Philadelphia were all packaged manually. The coins were shipped in so-called “monster boxes,” each of which contains 25 tubes of 20 coins, for a total of 500 coins in each box. Monster boxes of 2020 American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins minted in Philadelphia were affixed with a typed label containing the box tracking number; additionally, box tracking numbers were hand written directly on the boxes. Box tracking numbers 400,000 through and including 400,479 were used on boxes of coins minted in Philadelphia. The United States Mint does not sell its bullion coins directly to the public. Instead, we distribute our coins through a network of official distributors called “Authorized Purchasers” to provide investors the opportunity to acquire precious metal coins at a slight premium to spot market prices. As such, all American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins are, by their very nature, homogeneous. None of these coins bears a mint mark designating the facility where it was produced. The Mint’s goal is to ensure that the American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins struck at any of its facilities are identical and indistinguishable from one another. .

Because they have been used since the nation’s beginnings. Pathfinders and trendsetters – Benjamin Franklin, Robert E. Lee, Teddy Roosevelt, Marilyn Monroe – you, your parents and grandparents have all used coins. When you hold one in your hand, you’re holding a tangible link to the past. David M. Sundman, You can travel back to colonial America LCC President with a large cent, the Civil War with a two-cent piece, or to the beginning of America’s involvement in WWI with a Mercury dime.

But, after gaining more knowledge and experience, they usually find that it’s good to have a plan and a focus for what they want to collect.

Swiss Federal Coins – Respectable and Trustworthy
Swiss Federal Coins – Respectable and Trustworthy Switzerland stands aloof from the European Union. But Switzerland too once introduced its own single currency – the first federal constitution of 1848 put an end to Switzerland's previously fragmented coinage. The minting of coins in the individual cantons was abolished, and the coinage became the exclusive responsibility of the central government of the Swiss Confederation. And what the Confederation minted was the Swiss franc – French things were very much in fashion, and the decimal structure of the new currency made it convenient to work with. It's tough too, though, the Swiss franc, like a real mountaineer, strong enough to stand up to the euro any day. 1 von 10 www.sunflower.ch Swiss Confederation, 5 Francs 1850, Paris Denomination: 5 Franken Mint Authority: Swiss Confederation Mint: Paris Year of Issue: 1850 Weight (g): 24.97 Diameter (mm): 37.0 Material: Silver Owner: Sunflower Foundation During the first half of the 19th century, every Swiss canton minted its own coins. The resulting confusion is hard to imagine today – good, valuable money mixed with worthless coins. Only when the sovereign single states joined into the Swiss Confederation in 1848, a legal basis for a complete reformation of the Swiss currency was at hand. Antoine Bovy from Geneva designed the first series of Swiss coins that showed the image of a sitting Helvetia. This type was minted until 1874, when it was exchanged by the standing Helvetia. 2 von 10 www.sunflower.ch Swiss Confederation, 2 Francs 1850, Paris Denomination: 2 Franken Mint Authority: Swiss Confederation Mint: Paris Year of Issue: 1850 Weight (g): 9.97 Diameter (mm): 27.0 Material: Silver Owner: Sunflower Foundation Two years after the introduction of the Swiss federal constitution (1848) the first Swiss coins were issued.

Collecting Morgan Dollars
Collecting Morgan Dollars The Morgan Dollar’s popularity today is owed to the rich history of the Western United States and its mining and settlement activities of the late Nineteenth Century and beyond. Silver, which was once relatively scarce, became far more abundant after the great Comstock Lode dis- covery in what is currently Nevada. Individuals with heavy financial interests in Western silver needed to create demand for the surplus min- ing production. The Bland-Allison act of 1878 lobbied for by these in- terested parties did just that by creating a dedicated buyer of silver in the United States Mint. The Morgan Dollar was born that year to be the end product for the surplus silver. The law mandated that millions 1878 Morgan Dollar of ounces of silver were to be purchased and coined into Silver Dollars every year. (The Sherman Act of 1890 superceded the Bland-Allison Act and continued this process in a slightly different way.) Except for in the Western United States and to a lesser extent in the South, there was little actual demand for silver dollars; the number coined far exceeded the need for commerce. As a result, millions of excess Morgan Dollars resided in Treasury vaults for many decades before collectors rediscovered them. The fortunate legacy more than a century later is a fantastic selection of beautiful mint-fresh Morgan Dollars available at inexpensive prices. This ‘fortuitous’ supply of shiny, new ‘cartwheels’ is a boon for history lovers. These large, beautiful Mor- gan Dollars evoke powerful images of frontier days before the United States was fully settled.

United States Mint Announces Designs for Commemorative Coin Honoring Disabled American Veterans
United States Mint Announces Designs for Commemorative Coin Honoring Disabled American Veterans August 22, 2009 WASHINGTON, Aug 22, 2009 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The United States Mint today announced the designs for the 2010 American Veterans Disabled for Life Silver Dollar at the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) National Convention in Denver. United States Mint Director Ed Moy unveiled the designs. Under the American Veterans Disabled for Life Commemorative Coin Act (Public Law 110-277), the agency will mint and issue commemorative coins in honor of veterans who became disabled for life while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. The coin’s designs, approved by Secretary of the Treasury Timothy F. Geithner on July 30, 2009, are emblematic of the service of our disabled veterans who made enormous personal sacrifices defending the principles of our democracy. The obverse (heads side) design depicts the legs and boots of three disabled veterans. The inscription in the banner along the coin’s upper rim, THEY STOOD UP FOR US, pays tribute to the courageous disabled veterans who fought to preserve our freedom. Additional inscriptions on the obverse are IN GOD WE TRUST, 2010 and LIBERTY. The reverse (tails) design depicts a forget-me-not flower at the base of a wreath wrapped in a ribbon that cradles and supports clusters of oak branches. The oak branches represent strength, while the forget-me-not is a widely accepted symbol of remembrance for those who sacrificed their blood and their health for our country’s cause. The inscriptions are Take This Moment to Honor Our Disabled Defenders of Freedom, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM and ONE DOLLAR.
