2021 2.5-oz Silver U.S. Air Force Medal NGC MS69 First Releases

Fly High With The United States Air Force

The United States Air Force is the largest and most technologically advanced aerial fighting force in the world. With a fleet of more than 13,000 aircraft, the USAF dwarves Russia, its nearest rival, by more than 3 to 1. Initially part of the U.S. Army, the Air Force was established as a separate branch of the U.S. Armed Forces in 1947 following World War II. To pay tribute to the second youngest branch of America’s Armed Forces, the U.S. Mint has released this awesome commemorative medal as part of its Armed Forces Silver Medals Program that’s loaded with enough detail to satisfy any military history buff.

Exciting Designs Lift Air Force Medal To Epic Heights

This action-packed medal depicts a fighter jet pilot in his cockpit looking above as a pair of F-22 Raptor fighter jets soar past. An inscription that reads “U.S. AIR FORCE” hangs in the clouds that hover in the background. A stylized landscape can be seen below. Built by Lockheed Martin, the F-22 was originally designed to combat Soviet warplanes in air-to-air combat. The tough warbird made its combat debut over Syria in 2014 and has since been deployed elsewhere in the Middle East. The reverse design features the three spires of the Air Force Memorial surrounded by members of the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard. Inscribed around the border of the design are the core values of the Air Force: “INTEGRITY FIRST,” “SERVICE BEFORE SELF” and “EXCELLENCE IN ALL WE DO.”

Near-Perfect Silver Medals From Among The First Released

Though not a legal-tender coin, this medal was struck in 2.5 ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver by the “Mother Mint” in Philadelphia. And, at two inches in diameter, its large size provides ample room to showcase the intricate designs. What’s more, each 2021 Silver U.S. Air Force Medal available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in near-perfect Uncirculated Mint State-69 (MS69) condition, a distinction that means these almost-flawless commemoratives showcase impressive full strikes and indistinguishable imperfections — well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of medals in the series.

In addition, NGC has further pedigreed these medals with a First Releases (FR) certification, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of their release. Collectors seek out these types of pieces because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later. Plus, each medal will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
