2025-W PCGS PR-70 First Day of Issue US Army Privy 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coin - Army Label

To mark the 250th anniversary of the United States Army on June 14, 2025, the U.S. Mint has released a special edition of the American Silver Eagle featuring an exclusive privy mark. 

Established in 1775, the U.S. Army is the oldest and most prominent branch of the nation's armed forces. For two and a half centuries, it has stood at the forefront of defending American values, demonstrating unwavering dedication, courage, and service at home and worldwide.
