New State Silver Eagle Program set to smash State Quarter sales
“It’s going to feel like Christmas for the 147 million Americans who collected State Quarters,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America.
That’s because Federated Mint just announced, on the heels of the United States Mint wrapping up the 50 State Quarters Program, the national phenomenon that sent Americans on a quest to find and collect all 50 State Quarter Dollars – that its new American State Silver Eagle Program™ is now set to kick off.
“This is great news for collectors of all ages, teachers, families and all Americans,” said Withrow.
The new program mirrors most successful coin program in US history, the 50 State Quarter Program. Like the State Quarter Program, all 50 states and 6 U.S. territories will be released to the general public on a state-by-state basis. In fact, top executives at the private Federated Mint who are not even affiliated with the U.S. Mint are actually predicting that the new State Silver Eagle Program could smash the 50 State Quarter Program sales. That’s because U.S. Gov’t issued American Silver Eagles are legendary for their .999 Solid Silver Bullion composition and the staggering difference in value from an ordinary quarter.
“As Special Counsel to Federated Mint, I earn my pay delivering breaking news. And I can tell you with certainty, this is big news. Talk of this new program is quite the buzz across the country. State residents are chomping at the bit to get their hands on these new American State Enhanced Silver Eagles designed and distributed solely by the private Federated Mint,” said Withrow.
To date the private Federated Mint has been tight lipped on the release, but Withrow confirmed that state residents need to keep an eye out for limited releases scheduled to hit local newspapers as early as this month.
The emeritus 40th Treasurer also shared this bit of good news with me. “I’ll let you in on a little secret. The new American State Enhanced Silver Eagles will be offered in all 50 states to the residents of each state in special 7-day limited releases at the lowest ever state minimum set by Federated Mint.
Treasurer Withrow wants this to be very clear. State residents who see the 7-day special release announcements printed in their local papers need to call the Toll Free State Hotlines set up for their state. Do not delay because each state only has a limited allocation of new American State Silver Eagles and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
