This 2-ounce American Silver Eagle tribute round is comprised of 2 ounces of pure silver and inspired by the beautiful Palladium Eagle, first struck by the United States Mint in 2019.
Authorized by the American Eagle Palladium Bullion Coin Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-303), passed during the 111th U.S. Congress, the Palladium Eagle features iconic designs by famed sculptor Adolph Weinman. Its obverse showcases Weinman's celebrated Winged Liberty Head, commonly known as the "Mercury Dime," minted from 1916 to 1945, depicting the Goddess of Liberty adorned in a winged cap. The reverse draws from Weinman's 1907 medal design for the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
Prior to production, the Mint conducted extensive research to evaluate market demand. Initially delayed due to conflict of interest, the study was reassigned to CPM Group in New York, whose findings suggested limited market viability for palladium coins.
Despite these reservations, the Palladium Eagle launched successfully: the bullion version, released on September 25, 2017, sold out on the first day. A proof version released on September 6, 2018, priced at $1,387.50, similarly sold out within minutes, with secondary market premiums rapidly rising to $600 above the Mint’s price. The 2019 reverse proof edition followed on September 12, 2019.
Curated meticulously by the esteemed team at Highland Mint, proudly based in Florida, this silver tribute round is IRA approved and offered through GSI Exchange. It's a perfect addition to any collection and an ideal choice for those passionate about silver stacking.
