          Australia’s 2022 Wedge-Tailed Eagle Is Ready To Dive Into Your Collection

          2022 brings us a new design in the Wedge-Tailed Eagle Series. The ninth year since its introduction in 2014, and the seventh design from John Mercanti, the now-retired 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, shows Australia’s largest bird of prey in a majestic side profile calling with his beak open. This series from the Perth Mint is a collectors-favorite, both for the incredible Mercanti designs and for its numismatic importance as the first-ever collaboration between a former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver and a foreign world mint.

          New Mercanti Design Is An Instant Classic

          Like past year’s releases, this 2022-dated coin is struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver. It continues the series of the Perth Mint’s modern-day masterpieces with a Mercanti design that features a close-up profile of the Wedge Tailed Eagle as we’ve never seen him before, displaying a stunning side profile of the magnificent bird with his beak open as he makes a high-pitched “Peal Call” announcing that humans are near. The image is truly the prefect blend of design, precious metal, and collector appeal. What’s more, these have been struck in amazing Ultra High Relief! The die used to strike the amazing detail was designed to produce a deep, concave field upon the surface of the coin for maximum contrast with the devices. This relief not only towers above the coin’s surface but creates a stunning effect to Mercanti’s new 2022 Wedge Tailed Eagle design.

          Flawless Proofs From Among The First Issued

          Plus, each coin available in this offer comes in gorgeous Proof condition crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields! In fact, each 2022 One-Ounce Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle available here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended! In addition, NGC has certified each coin available in this offer to be a First Day of Issue (FDI) coin, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date.

          As a final added touch, each coin available in this offer will come sonically sealed in a museum-quality acrylic holder and encapsulated with a label displaying the Australian Flag and personally signed by John Mercanti! A giant in the numismatic world, Mercanti has produced more coin and medal designs than any person in U.S. Mint history.
