1993 Philadelphia Gold & Silver Eagle Set

The 1993 Philadelphia Gold & Silver Eagle Set is a prestigious dual-coin release from the U.S. Mint, issued to commemorate the bicentennial of the Philadelphia Mint—America's first official mint facility, established in 1793. This limited-edition set includes a 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle and a 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle, beautifully struck and housed in an elegant U.S. Mint presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Historical Significance:

This set honors the founding of the Philadelphia Mint, which began operations in 1793 as the nation's first mint under the Coinage Act of 1792. Notably, the Silver Eagle in this set bears the "P" mint mark, making it one of the very few Philadelphia-minted Proof Silver Eagles. The combination of low mintage, historic relevance, and unmatched design quality has made this set one of the most sought-after modern commemorative offerings from the U.S. Mint.
