American Eagle Palladium

One of the United States Mint’s last releases of 2019, the latest issue of the American Eagle Palladium series will feature a beautiful reverse proof design which will be unique to the series. Beginning in 2017 the Mint introduced a palladium option to the American Eagle family of investment coins. The inaugural 2017 issue was struck in a standard bullion finish, followed by 2018’s proof finish. 2019 continues the Mint’s strategy to strike each issue in a different finish, and collectors have responded with unbridled enthusiasm: Both the 2017 and 2018 coin sold out on the first day of release.

With a strict limit of 30,000 coins, demand is sure to exceed supply in 2019. Based on Adolph Weinman’s 1916 design for a new dime (affectionately called the “Mercury” dime), the Palladium Eagle contains one Troy ounce of .995 pure palladium. Palladium is a sister metal to platinum and one of the rarest of all precious metals.

Like all American Eagle coins the Palladium Eagle is a legal tender United States issue, with a face value of $25. Global Gold will offer the coin in a variety of grade certified options.

From Coin Week magazine:

“Marketed to collectors, the 2019-W Reverse Proof Palladium American Eagle is sure to also tempt many diehard metals investors. Interestingly, when the first one-ounce Palladium Eagles were released on September 25, 2017 with a bullion-quality finish and pitched mainly to an investor audience, the crossover appeal with numismatists was outstanding. The United States Mint saw a rapid sellout of 2017-W Palladium Eagles, as did most coin dealers who bought these coins directly from the Mint to resell them in the secondary market. Two years on, the 2017-W Palladium American Eagle remains a hot seller. When the 2018-W Proof Palladium Eagle hit the streets one year later, a similar thing happened. The Mint’s available supply of Proofs was exhausted within five minutes of the coin’s September 6, 2018 release.”
