2011 American Eagle Silver Uncirculated CoinThe United States Mint published an official press release announcing the revived availability of the 2011 American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin and its price. The uncirculated strikes will launch at 12:00 noon Eastern Time on Thursday, September 15, 2011 for $60.45, and there will be no household limits.
News of the coin's return was recorded in early August when the U.S. Mint updated their online Product Schedule page with a date for the launch. That date has since been moved up by two weeks.
As with other numismatic coins containing precious metals, the Mint reserves the right to suspend sales and reprice the product if the metal market begins to change significantly. A price adjustment occurred not too long ago for this reason for another 2011 American Silver Eagle. On August 24, the Mint halted sales of the 2011 Proof Silver Eagle, and when it resumed on August 29, its price had been raised by $8.50 from $59.95 to $68.45.
The American Eagle Silver uncirculated coin had been on a hiatus since 2008, due to unprecedented demand for bullion silver coins in 2009 and 2010. After securing more resources and receiving more freedom to produce collector coins, the Mint has made better strides to keep up with soaring demand.
The collector uncirculated Silver Eagle will have a "burnished" finish and the "W" mint mark to indicate it was produced at the Mint's West Point facility. It will come encapsulated within a protective presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity.
The United States Mint's press release regarding the announcement for the 2011 American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coins follows.
WASHINGTON - The United States Mint will offer 2011 American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coins beginning at noon Eastern Time (ET) on September 15, 2011. The one-ounce .999 silver coin is currently priced at $60.45. As with all products sold by the United States Mint containing precious metals, pricing is subject to change.
Struck on specially burnished blanks, American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coins feature a finish similar to their bullion counterparts but carry the "W" mint mark, indicating production at the United States Mint at West Point. Each coin is encapsulated in protective plastic and placed in a blue presentation case accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
The obverse (heads side) design of the American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin features an image of Lady Liberty in full stride enveloped in the folds of the American flag with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left. The reverse (tails side) design of the coin depicts a heraldic eagle with shield, an olive branch in the right talon and arrows in the left.
