2011 5PC "70" 25th Anniversary Silver Eagle Set

The United States Mint released the 25th Anniversary American Silver Eagle Set on October 27, 2011 to celebrate the important milestone for the program.

The product generated a great deal of excitement with collectors due to the limited production of 100,000 units and the inclusion of two coins that were exclusive to the set.

The set includes five Silver Eagles with different finishes and/or mint marks. Three of the coins had previously been issued by the United States Mint through other channels. These included the proof version struck at the West Point Mint and carrying the W mint mark, the uncirculated version also struck at West Point and carrying the W mint mark, and the bullion version of the coin without a mint mark. The remaining two coins were unique to the sets and not offered individually or within other products, giving them an extremely low mintage. The 2011-P Reverse Proof Silver Eagle was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. This coin featured mirrored raised design elements and frosted fields, for the opposite effect of the traditional proof. The 2011-S Uncirculated Silver Eagle was struck at the San Francisco Mint and carried the S mint mark. Until this point, all collectible uncirculated Silver Eagles had been struck at West Point and carried the W mint mark. The set sold out in a record breaking 4.5 hours!
