The American Eagle bullion coin series from the United States Mint is one of the most well-known in the world today. Debuting in 1986 in gold and silver, the Eagle series has expanded once before in 1997 to include a Platinum Eagle, and now it will expand once again in 2017 with an exciting new precious metal option. The all-new American Palladium Eagle was actually authorized by Congress in 2010 with the passage of the American Eagle Palladium Bullion Coin Act of 2010, but implementation of the coin series was left to the discretion of the Treasury Secretary. For now, the 2017 American Palladium Eagle will be made available in bullion version, with the possibility for uncirculated and proof coinage later. As with other coins in the American Eagle series, historic American coinage designs are coming to the obverse and reverse of the new Palladium Eagles. On the obverse of the new 2017 Palladium Eagle youll find Adolph A. Weinmans Winged Liberty design along with engravings of Liberty and In God We Trust. Weinman is the man behind the creation of Winged Liberty for the US 10-cent piece in 1916. Also known as the Mercury Dime, this image is a classic in the United States and was in circulation from 1916 until 1945.
