End of World War II 75th Anniversary American Eagle Coin

End of World War II 75th Anniversary American Eagle Silver Proof Coin. History of the American Silver Eagle Series: The American Silver Eagle is the official silver bullion coin of the United States, first introduced by the U.S. Mint on November 24, 1986, following the Liberty Coin Act of 1985. It was created to provide Americans with an easy way to invest in physical silver while depleting the nation's strategic silver stockpiles. The obverse (Heads) features Adolph A. Weinman's iconic "Walking Liberty" design, originally from the half dollar, depicting Lady Liberty striding toward the sunrise with an olive branch and torch—symbolizing peace and enlightenment. The reverse (Tails), designed by John Mercanti (12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint), shows a heraldic eagle with a shield, clutching arrows and an olive branch, below 13 stars for the original colonies. Since its debut, the Silver Eagle has become the world's most popular silver bullion coin, with over 500 million minted across bullion, proof, and uncirculated versions. It's produced at three mints (Philadelphia, San Francisco, and West Point) and is eligible for IRA investments due to its government-backed purity and weight. The series saw a major update in 2021 with a new reverse design by Emily Damstra, but the 2020 issues like this one retain the classic Type-1 look. These products will include a limited quantity of hand signed Certificates of Authenticity (COA) by the Director of the Mint. Mark the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II with the gift of silver available in limited quantities. A symbolic V75 privy mark is stamped on the obverse of this American Eagle Silver Proof Coin. Corresponding end of World War II package sleeve and Certificate of Authenticity are include. About This WWII Commemorative Issue: This 2020-W V75 is the first-ever American Silver Eagle One Ounce Silver Proof Coin to incorporate a special privy mark, a special design element typically used on commemorative coins to mark significant events - on its obverse to symbolize the 75th anniversary of the triumph of World War II. The "V75" stands for "Victory 75", celebrating Allied triumphs in Europe and the Pacific. The design outline of the privy mark represents the aerial view shape of the Rainbow Pool located at West Potomac Park in Washington, DC, that is now an integral part of the World War II Memorial, built in 2001 on the National Mall. With a mintage capped at 75,000 (symbolic of the 75 years), it sold out instantly at the Mint for $83 each and has since become a key date in the series due to its historical significance and low availability. Fun fact: A matching gold version was also issued, but the silver one is more accessible for collectors. We pause to remember and honor those Americans who fought one of the greatest threats our country and world ever faced. Whether here on the home front or on far-away continents and islands, the "greatest generation" rose to the occasion in spectacular and selfless fashion to meet the challenge and preserve our freedoms and way of life.
