2006 American Eagle 20th Anniversary Silver Coin Set

2006 American Eagle 20th Anniversary Silver Coin Set

3-coin Set includes original US Mint packaging with Certificate of Authenticity

To celebrate the 20th year of American Silver Eagle coins, the US Mint released the American Eagle 20th Anniversary Silver Coin Set. Each set includes three Silver Eagle coins, each struck with a different finish.

The first coin in the set was struck using a newly introduced uncirculated finish. These coins were struck on specially burnished blanks and carried the “W” mint mark. These coins have been referred to as “collectible uncirculated” versions by the US Mint, although some collectors refer to them as “Burnished Silver Eagles.”

The second coin in the set was struck with a standard proof finish. As with other modern proofs, the coins featured a cameo contrast consisting of frosted raised elements and mirrored backgrounds. These coins were struck at the West Point Mint and carried the “W” mint mark.

The third coin included in the set featured a reverse proof finish. As the name implies, these coins had the opposite appearance of the standard proof finish. Raised design elements appear mirrored, while background fields are frosted. This represented the first time that the US Mint struck coins in reverse proof. The coins were produced at the Philadelphia Mint and carry the “P” mint mark.
