Just a few months ago, Uncle Sam publically cried "Uncle" —when the U.S. Mint admitted that it needed help keeping up with the record—smashing demand for its Silver Eagle dollars. The West Point Mint, which had exclusively struck these popular coins for the last decade, was simply overwhelmed by the surge in public demand.

Just a few months ago, Uncle Sam publically cried "Uncle" —when the U.S. Mint admitted that it needed help keeping up with the record—smashing demand for its Silver Eagle dollars. The West Point Mint, which had exclusively struck these popular coins for the last decade, was simply overwhelmed by the surge in public demand.

Where did Uncle Sam turn for help? To the prestigious U.S. Mint in San Francisco.

Starting at the end of May, the San Francisco Mint began to produce 2011 U.S. Silver Eagles alongside the coins already being struck at West Point. But because the BU Silver Eagle traditionally does not feature any mintmark, the coins will not be able to be distinguished from each other once they are distributed to the public. At first, it appeared that their secret could not be broken.

The Secret is Revealed

When the news broke, collectors went crazy! The opportunity to own the first U.S. Silver Eagle struck in San Francisco for over a decade was simply too exciting to ignore. But without a mintmark, how could these hot new coins ever be identified?

The answer is brilliantly simple.

As each sealed 500—coin Treasury 'monster box' is shipped from San Francisco, it bears a label identifying the mint location. Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) has announced that it would certify those coins as coming from San Francisco — but only if they are submitted in the sealed Treasury boxes as undisputable proof of their exciting pedigree. What's more, if the sealed boxes submitted were from the first 30 days of production, the coins would also earn the added certification as First Strike!
