The United States Mint today announced through the Federal Register that each of four special one-ounce, .999 fine proof American Silver Eagles will be priced at $105. The lineup includes 2025 Silver Eagles featuring privy marks commemorating the 250th anniversaries of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, as well as a separate issue bearing a “Laser Beam” privy mark.
The price is $10 higher than that of the standard proof Silver Eagle released earlier this year, which is struck at the U.S. Mint’s West Point facility. Still available, more than 210,000 have been sold. Each of the upcoming coins shares the same specifications and core design as the standard version. What sets them apart are the distinctive privy marks that depict military branch seals. The “Laser Beam” edition remains a mystery, with no further details provided to date.
In a separate press release published today, the Mint revealed that the first of these four special coins – honoring the U.S. Army – will be available for public pre-order beginning Friday, June 13, with shipping expected to start in late July. The release aligns with the Army’s 250th anniversary on June 14. Also struck at the West Point Mint, the coin has a mintage of 100,000 and an initial household order limit of three. In addition, it will be offered through both the Mint’s Numismatic Bulk Purchase Program (NBPP) and Authorized Bulk Purchase Program (ABPP).
Mintages and household limits for the remaining coins are expected to mirror those of the Army edition. The Laser Beam version is scheduled for release on Aug. 20 and will be struck at the West Point Mint. The Navy and Marine Corps coins are planned for the fall, with production at the San Francisco and Philadelphia Mints, respectively. Their 250th anniversaries fall on Oct. 13 (Navy) and Nov. 10 (Marine Corps).
