2018 Australia 1-oz Silver Wedge Tailed Eagle NGC MS70 First Releases Harbuz

The Fifth Anniversary of a Historic Partnership Heralds a New One-Year-Only Design

About five years ago, we brought John Mercanti and the Perth Mint together to collaborate on a new coin series. Little did we know that we'd help start an international sensation! This match of the most prolific designer in United States Mint history along with the heralded Australian mint produced the first-ever Wedge-Tailed Eagle in 2014-- the first time a U.S. Mint chief engraver designed a coin struck by another official world mint.

In 2014 and 2015, the series featured Mercanti's vision of an eagle in flight, ready to land. The next two years displayed a perched eagle with a stoic and majestic gaze. Now, for 2018, the time is due for another new creation -- one that, along with all designs to follow, will be struck for one year and one year only! GovMint.com is proud to present the latest addition to this acclaimed series, featuring not just one but an entire FAMILY of exceptional eagles!

• THREE EAGLES, ONE MAGNIFICENT DESIGN! – For this 2018 creation, John Mercanti went back into his archive of unused designs originally submitted to the U.S. Mint. Featuring a baby eaglet being watched carefully by its mother, the father of the family is shown swooping in, ready to come home to the nest. It's the eagle family design that Mercanti has been waiting to create for years, finally realized in this gorgeous coin!       

• BRILLANT CRAFTSMANSHIP IN PHENOMENAL DETAIL! – Each coin begins as a hand-selected one-ounce planchet of highly pure 99.99% fine silver. Then, the artisans at the Perth Mint strike each coin as only they can. When you turn this coin over in your hand and marvel at its beauty, you’ll understand why the Perth Mint's reputation for innovation and producing coins of superior quality is unsurpassed.

• AUSTRALIAN LEGAL TENDER – Each 2018 1-oz Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle Mint State 70 coin is one dollar Australian legal tender. All the details are engraved on the obverse along with Ian Rank-Broadley's profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The coin's silver content, the year 2018 and the signature "P" mintmark join the wedge-tailed eagle family on the reverse.

• CERTIFIED FLAWLESS CONDITION . . . – Your coin will be certified Mint State-70 (MS70) by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), a distinction that means your perfectly-graded 2018 1-oz Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle will have ZERO imperfections -- showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended! In addition, your Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle will be certified First Releases (FR) by NGC, meaning that it was among the first struck by the Perth Mint and was verified within the first 30 days of issue.

• . . . WITH AN AUTOGRAPHED LABEL! – Your Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle Proof will also be sonically sealed in an acrylic NGC holder, giving you the best in protection while granting clear sightlines into every beautiful detail. Inside that holder, you'll find another incredible feature -- a label hand-signed by Former Perth Mint Director Ed Harbuz!
