For the first time ever, the United States Mint introduces the new American Palladium Eagle coin in a proof option for collectors. With an extremely limited mintage figure and beautiful packaging, this latest addition to the American Eagle Series of coins is a must-have for series collectors of American coinage. Each of the 2018-W 1 oz Proof American Palladium Eagle Coins from the United States Mint comes in a special new packaging. The US Mint offers these coins individually inside of gray leatherette cases that have a satin lining to house your coin safely. The coins come with a Certificate of Authenticity from the United States Mint as well. The American Palladium Eagle debuted in 2017 after years of waiting following approval for such a coin back in 2010. The American Palladium Eagle, like other American Eagle coins, brings a historic coin design back to life. The Mercury Dime created by Adolph A. Weinman was in circulation from 1916 to 1945, at which point it was replaced by the current US dime design featuring President Franklin D. Roosevelt. On the obverse of these 2018-W 1 oz Proof American Palladium Eagle Coins is the left-profile portrait of Winged Liberty. This vision of Liberty was created by Weinman in 1916 as the US looked to revamp all of its circulation coin designs with newer, American-inspired designs. The coin became known as the Mercury Dime because Weinmans vision of Liberty with a winged, Phrygian cap reminded people of the Roman messenger god Mercury.
