The United States Mint will start selling American Eagle palladium coins to authorized purchasers in September, Acting Principal Deputy Mint Director David Motl told Coin World on Aug. 1.
Motl revealed the start of sales in an interview with Coin World senior editor Paul Gilkes at the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money in Denver.
The bullion coins will be struck at the Philadelphia Mint and like all American Eagle bullion coins, will not have a Mint mark.
A Proof version of the coin will be offered in 2018. It will be struck at the West Point Mint and bear the W Mint mark. It will have same designs as the 2017 bullion version.
Motl told Gilkes that the bullion coins will be struck in sufficient quantities to meet anticipated demand.
As Coin World reported previously, the coin has been a long time coming. It was authorized under provisions of the American Eagle Palladium Bullion Coin Act of 2010, which calls for production of a 1-ounce palladium coin with a $25 face value. The coin is an extension of the American Eagle bullion coin program.
Like the American Eagle gold, silver, and platinum bullion coins, the American Eagle palladium coins will have distinctive designs, and like the gold and silver issues, the designs will be based on earlier designs by an artist and sculptor active in the early 20th century.
The legislation mandates the obverse design be a high-relief version of sculptor Adolph A. Weinman’s Winged Liberty Head design for the dime struck in 1916. The reverse is mandated to be a high-relief version of the Eagle design Weinman rendered in 1906 for the reverse of the American Institute of Architects’ gold medal first presented in 1907.
This is a developing story.

The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee recommended proposed designs March 21 for five silver medals to augment the 2018 World War I American Veterans Centennial silver dollar program.
The combined 62 proposed obverse and reverse designs reflect images honoring American military personnel in the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Service, U.S. Marines, U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.
CCAC members recommended to U.S. Mint officials that a sixth silver medal be issued to honor women military personnel that served during World War I.
The Commission of Fine Arts reviewed the same designs March 16 and made their design recommendations. The CCAC was originally scheduled to review the designs March 15 but the meeting was canceled by a snowstorm that hit the nation's capital.
The designs recommended by the CCAC for the five World War I silver medals, with Mint-provided commentary, are:
➤ Army: Obverse portrays a doughboy with a 48-star flag behind him, both elements depicted as they were in WWI photographs and posters. The additional inscription of “1918” completes the centennial commemoration date. Reverse features the current Army emblem, which was in use during World War I.
➤ Navy: Obverse depicts a four-piper destroyer targeting an enemy submarine by launching depth charges off the stern with an additional depth charge exploding in the background. In the sky, kite balloons patrol for submarines and other dangers. The reverse showcases the World War I era Navy emblem.
➤ Air Service: Obverse portrays a SPAD XIII, viewed from the top and side. The additional inscription “SPAD XIII” identifies the aircraft. The design was submitted for consideration as a reverse. The reverse features the Military Aviator Insignia.
➤ Marines: The obverse shows the aftermath of the three month Battle of Belleau Wood. One Marine stands guard as the other kneels to pay respect and honor to the fallen. The story closes quoting a report to the American Expeditionary Forces: “WOODS NOW U.S. MARINE CORPS ENTIRELY.” An Eagle, Globe, and Anchor and the additional inscription “BATTLE OF BELLEAU WOOD” complete the design. The design was submitted as a reverse. The reverse features the World War I era version of the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor.
➤ Coast Guard: The obverse depicts a lifeboat from the cutter Seneca heading out in heavy seas toward the torpedoed steamshipWellington. The sailors have sighted men in the water and are attempting a rescue immediately. The reverse depicts the World War I-era Coast Guard emblem.
In addition to recommending a sixth medal, the CCAC recommended that for the other five medals that the Mint minimize design elements on the obverse while also moving most of the obverse inscriptions to the reverse accompanying service emblems.
The CCAC also endorsed the mock-up designs for the 2017 American Eagle palladium $25 coin mandated to bear sculptor Adolph A. Weinman's obverse from the Winged Liberty Head dime and an eagle reverse from the reverse of a gold medal he designed for the American Institute of Architects.
The CCAC also discussed possible design concepts for a congressional gold medal honoring the Filipino Veterans of World War II.

O nouă monedă comemorativă din China - 25.10.2016

By Peter Anthony - Numismatic Guaranty Corporation .......
One of the wonderful aspects of coin collecting is the opportunity to make new friends from around the world. Numismatics brings people from any and all cultures together. The recent ANA World’s Fair of Money convention in Anaheim was a perfect example. Not only did collectors and dealers attend, but there were some fascinating world coin exhibits.
For example, I learned about Olympic Participation Medals. These were distributed at every modern Olympic Game, including the 2008 games in Beijing. The exhibit described them as, “Olympic Participation Medals (OPMs) are sometimes referred to as the “other Olympic Medals”. Unlike the highly coveted winner’s medals, they are rarely if ever seen on television. However, since OPMs are awarded to all athletes, judges and officials, they exemplify the spirit of participation set forth by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games who told us, “The important thing in life is not victory, but struggle. The essential is not to have won, but to have fought well.”
Participation and friendship have also been celebrated in coins, medals and Show Pandas issued by China. This includes a 2016 Show Panda from the Shanghai Mint for the 2016 ANA Convention. It is not nearly as well-known as the 1 oz. gold and the 1 oz. and 12 oz. silver Show Pandas that were sold to the public in Anaheim, but it qualifies as a Show Panda, too. On one face it shares the same design as the gold and silver issues. The ANA logo is in the center surrounded by “125th Anniversary Anaheim 2016” in English and Chinese just inside the rim.
The other face of this Show Panda features a unique design. Like a mythological creature an eagle and Panda are merged into one. Below them sits the Great Wall of China together with palm trees, a common sight in Southern California. “Sino-American Friendship” is written in English and Chinese.
Sino-American Friendship was first celebrated on a Show Panda nearly 30 years earlier. In 1987, the 16th New York International Numismatic Convention (NYINC) offered 1 oz. gold and 1 oz. platinum Pandas on this theme. These two Shanghai Mint products have received extra attention in recent years because their design shows the Manhattan skyline with the Twin Towers. 2,000 gold and 1,000 of the platinum Show Pandas were struck.
That same year a 5 oz. silver Sino-American Friendship Show Panda was minted for the ANA convention in Atlanta. One year later, the 1988 New York International Coin Exposition offered a 1 oz. palladium Sino-American Friendship themed Show Panda. And that was the last Sino-American Friendship Panda until 2016. It is good to see old ties between numismatists renewed.
If you have the opportunity to visit any of the mints in China, you will find that the desire for friendship between China and the USA is very real there. It is nice to once again have a new Show Panda that expresses this mutual regard. We can all hope for more international cooperation and a bright numismatic future for both nations.

On Monday, June 27, the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) will hold a three-hour public meeting at Gaylord Hall on the campus of Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Besides advising on the future of the U.S. Mint’s palladium coin program and electing jurors for theBreast Cancer Awareness Commemorative Coin design competition, the Committee will review and discuss candidate designs for the five 2018 America the Beautiful Quarters program issues.
In addition, the CCAC will review and discuss designs for both the Term One and Term Two President Obama Presidential Medals.
2018 America the Beautiful Quarters
The America the Beautiful Quarters Program began right after the completion of the 50 State Quarters Program and its adjunct District of Columbia and Territories program.
Authorized by Public Law 110–456 (source: PDF), the America the Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008, called for the Treasury Department and the Mint to issue “redesigned quarters dollars emblematic of national parks or other national sites in each state, the District of Columbia, and each territory.
Similar to the issuance order of the 50 State Quarters Program, America the Beautiful National Parks quarters are issued one per state, based on the order in which the selected site was first established as a National Park.
2018 will be the ninth year of the putative 12-year program that started in 2010 and will end no sooner than 2021. Five parks are honored each year of the program. In the order of release, the 2018 roster includes:
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore – Michigan
Apostle Islands National Lakeshore – Wisconsin
Voyageurs National Park – Minnesota
Cumberland Island National Seashore – Georgia
Block Island National Wildlife Refuge – Rhode Island
Featured below are the 2018 candidate designs for each coin (all images courtesy of the United States Mint).
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
Apostle Islands National Lakeshore
Voyageurs National Park
Cumberland Island National Seashore
Block Island National Wildlife Refuge
On June 16, the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) reviewed the candidate design portfolios and made their own preferences known. For Pictured Rocks, the CFA chose side eight. For Apostle Islands, side nine was selected. Side six was chosen as the CFA’s preferred candidate for Voyageurs National Park. For Cumberland Island, the commission prefers side six, and for Block Island, the CFA recommends side six as well.
