First Day of Issue
Each 2024 10oz Proof Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle is certified by NGC as First Day of Issue. NGC has also guaranteed that each proof coin is flawless with a mirror-like contrast and has given each coin a perfect grade of PF 70 ULTRA CAMEO.
John Mercanti Signature
Each coin sonically sealed in NGC's secure holder with an exclusive Australian Flag label hand-signed by John Mercanti. Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and designer of the Type 1 American Silver Eagle, is a legend in modern numismatics. He is one of the most prolific designers in U.S. Mint history and the first U.S. Mint engraver to design a coin for a foreign mint.
Wedge-Tailed Eagle Series
First introduced in 2014, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle series marked the first collaboration between Australia's Perth Mint and 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint John Mercanti. This marked the first time a U.S. Mint engraver designed a coin for a foreign mint. Since the series' inception, John Mercanti's designs have captured the grace, power, and majesty of Australia's largest bird of prey. Each release showcases a new perspective of the majestic bird.
