Washington, DC, Aug. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The United States Mint (Mint) will begin accepting orders for the 2024 American Eagle One Ounce Palladium Proof Coin (product code 24EK) on September 5 at noon ET.
The coin contains one ounce of 99.95% palladium and is the collector version of the official United States Mint American Eagle One Ounce Palladium Bullion Coin, which launched in 2017. Finishes on collector coins in this program may alternate each year. In 2018, the Mint issued a proof finish palladium coin, followed by a reverse proof finish coin in 2019, an uncirculated finish in 2020, a proof finish in 2021, a reverse proof finish in 2022, and an uncirculated finish again in 2023.
Palladium coin designs are based on those by famed American sculptor Adolph A. Weinman. The obverse (heads) features a high-relief likeness of “Winged Liberty” from the “Mercury Dime” obverse. In keeping with the original coin, inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “2024,” and Weinman’s distinct initials. The reverse (tails) design features a high-relief version of Weinman’s 1907 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal reverse, which includes an eagle and a branch. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES of AMERICA,” “$25,” “1 OZ. Pd” (the chemical symbol for palladium), “.9995 FINE,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
Each coin is encapsulated and is placed in a black velvet, satin-lined presentation case accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The box is adorned with the official United States Mint Seal; the outer sleeve incorporates an image of the obverse coin design.
Pricing for the American Eagle One Ounce Palladium Proof Coin will be determined according to the range in which it appears on the Mint’s “Pricing of Numismatic Gold, Commemorative Gold, Platinum, and Palladium Products” table.
