Palladium American Eagle

The release of the 1 oz Palladium American Eagle coin in 2018 marked a historic moment for coin collectors worldwide. This was the U.S. Mint’s first-ever proof palladium coin, following the 2017 launch of its bullion counterpart, which was the first U.S. coin struck in palladium and the first to feature the high-relief design on a metal other than gold.

The Mint continued this momentum in 2018 and 2019, with the Proof Palladium American Eagle quickly becoming a highly sought-after item among collectors and investors.

Palladium American Eagle Key Features

• Purity and Weight: Contains 1 troy ounce of .9995 fine palladium.
• Obverse Design: Features a high-relief depiction of Winged Liberty, originally seen on the Mercury Dime, designed by renowned artist Adolph A. Weinman. The inscriptions include “Liberty,” “In God We Trust,” and the year of issue.
• Reverse Design: Showcases a high-relief version of Weinman’s 1907 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal design, with a majestic eagle perched on a leafy branch. Inscriptions include “United States of America,” “$25,” “1 oz. Pd” (the chemical symbol for palladium), “.9995 Fine,” and “E Pluribus Unum.”
• Packaging: Comes in a gray leatherette case with a satin lining and includes a Certificate of Authenticity from the U.S. Mint.

A Brief History

The American Eagle Palladium Bullion Coin Act of 2010 authorized the production of this remarkable coin, which added palladium to the esteemed American Eagle series. The act mandated the creation of a $25 coin with a 1 troy ounce weight and .9995 fine palladium composition.

The legislation also stipulated two versions of the coin: proof and uncirculated. Notably, the proof version is exclusively minted at the West Point Mint, enhancing its collectibility and value.

The 2017 bullion version sold out immediately upon release, and demand for the 2018 proof edition was equally intense, with sales suspended as the 15,000-coin maximum order limit was reached in record time. This trend underscores the extraordinary demand for these coins in the secondary market.
