2011 San Francisco Mint Silver Eagle MS70
Finally, after more than a decade, the prestigious San Francisco Mint has once again begun striking Silver American Eagles.
From 1989 to 2000, Silver Eagles were struck concurrently at the West Point and San Francisco mint facilities. In 2001, however production was limited exclusively to the US Mint in West Point. But because of the unprecedented demand for Silver Eagles, the San Francisco Mint has once again been pressed into service in the production of these magnificent coins.
When the news broke in May, collectors everywhere became excited. The chance to own one of the few coins struck in San Francisco for the first time in more than ten years was too valuable of an opportunity to miss. But there was a catch; they would be produced without a mintmark.
Fortunately, ANACS proposed a simple solution. Sealed Treasury boxes, known as “Monster Boxes”, are shipped with a security strap identifying the mint location. ANACS recently announced that they would certify the coins from the San Francisco Mint as long as they were submitted in the sealed Treasury boxes as proof of their origin. Additionally, they agreed to certify those coins submitted to them within the first 30 days of production with the coveted,Initial Release Designation.
It is estimated that less than 10% of the total number of 2011 Silver Eagles will be produced at the San Francisco Mint, and considerably fewer will be certified as such with only a fraction of them receiving a perfect grade of MS70.
A certified, 2011 San Francisco Mint Silver American Eagle is certain to be a key coin in this highly sought-after series; a must for any collector.

The Silver Kookaburra is one of the handful of pure silver coins in the world that changes its design each year.

1994′s reverse was designed by Miliena Milan and depicts a pair of Kookaburras perched on the branch of a eucalyptus tree. The rolling, laughing call of the Kookaburra is one of the most familiar sounds in the forest of eastern Australia. These birds raise a wild chorus of insane laughter at dawn and dusk so regularly that in the hinterlands of Australia they are known as the “bushmans clock.”
Minted in one troy ounce of .999 Fine Silver and graded MS70 by ANACS, the 1994 Australian Kookaburra is minted in a stunning `reverse-proof` finish, which is the opposite of US proof coins.
