2020 $1 1-OZ SILVER EAGLE NGC MS70 FDI - MICHEAL CASTLE SIGNATURE
For more than three decades American Eagle Silver Dollars have been
the most collected coins in the world. In 2021 these iconic coins are
getting a face lift. The U.S. Mint has announced that next year, the
reverse of the Silver Eagle will be replaced with a brand-new design.
Firsts and lasts are important parts of any collection, and these last
year of design coins are sure to become a key date in the series.
Individually Hand Signed Coins by Michael Castle – Genuine Signatures!
An area of coin collecting that is seeing surging demand and rising
prices are certified coins with special designations on their holders.
Coins with special designated labels are being accumulated by collectors
who seek exclusivity and the prestige of owning the finest coins
possible.
“Mike Castle has done more than any other person in the last 25 years
to shape United States coins,” says Steven R. Eichenbaum, CEO of NGC.
These final year of design American Eagle Silver Dollars have been
certified in perfect MS70 condition by NGC. The coins are also certified
as First Day of Issue, the most coveted designation by collectors. The
inserts have been hand signed by The Honorable Michael Castle, a
two-term Governor of Delaware and near twenty-year member of the US
House of Representatives. Castle is directly responsible for some of the
most important and popular modern US coins.
While in Congress, he wrote and/or sponsored the bills that created
the American Buffalo Gold coins, Platinum Eagles, 50 State Quarters
Program, the Presidential Dollar Series, the America the Beautiful
Quarters Program and a number of modern commemoratives including the
2006 silver dollars that honored Benjamin Franklin, an ancestor of
Castle’s.
The impact of the 50 State Quarters in particular can hardly be
overstated. It is estimated that 150 million Americans—half of the
country’s population at the time—became casual coin collectors as a
result of this series. Many would become more serious modern coin
collectors, which had a transformative effect on the hobby and propelled
coin collecting into the $4 billion a year juggernaut that it is today.
Castle is even more proud of the 50 State Quarters’ financial success.
The 50 State Quarters Program netted nearly $7 billion in profit for
the US government, an astonishing amount raised without levying any
taxes. The 50 State Quarters series started in 1999 with Delaware, the
first state admitted into the Union and Castle’s home state. By the time
the Delaware Quarter was released, however, Castle had already begun to
leave his mark on US coinage. The first numismatic legislation that
Castle sponsored was the Commemorative Coin Authorization and Reform Act
of 1995, which created the American Platinum Eagle bullion coin. A year
later, Castle drafted the legislation that limited the number of new
commemorative coin subjects to two per year. This limit, designed to
focus the series and build collector interest, continues to shape the
modern US commemorative coin series.
In his last piece of numismatic legislation, Castle created the
America the Beautiful Quarters Program to begin after the conclusion of
the 50 State Quarters Program. Significantly, this act called for the
creation of a five ounce silver bullion coin, the largest silver coin
ever created by the US Mint.
With a legacy that extends to circulating coins, bullion coins,
commemorative coins and numismatic issues, Mike Castle truly is the
Coinage Congressman. “I am excited to continue my involvement in coins
and the collecting community with NGC,” said Castle. “This innovative
program is yet another way for new people to be introduced to this great
hobby.” Mike Castle individually hand-signed NGC certification labels
add a unique, personal touch to coins from a distinguished statesman and
a coin hobby supporter.
