U.S. Mint Launches 250th Anniversary Marine Corps Silver Eagle: A Collector’s Tribute in Silver

Washington D.C. — The United States Mint has officially unveiled the 250th Anniversary United States Marine Corps 2025-P Proof American Silver Eagle, a special-edition release celebrating 250 years of Marine Corps legacy and service. This release is likely to be one of the Mint’s most popular coins of the year because it has a low mintage, a unique Marine Corps privy mark, and is made of excellent silver. A Silver Tribute

The 2025-P Proof American Silver Eagle was made in the Philadelphia Mint. It has the same level of precision and beauty that collectors have come to expect from the U.S. Mint. The coin’s privy mark, which has the Marine Corps‘ famous Eagle, Globe, and Anchor design, celebrates a tradition that started on November 10, 1775, when the Continental Marines were initially formed in Philadelphia. There is one troy ounce of .999 pure silver in each coin, which is 40.60 mm in diameter and has a reeded edge. The front of the coin has Adolph A. Weinman’s renowned “Walking Liberty” design, which shows independence and strength. It was first used on U.S. coins in 1916. The eagle coming down with an oak branch on its back stands for renewal and power, two things that are very important to the Marine Corps’ long-lasting nature. Expected to be in short supply and in high demand There will only be 100,000 coins made, and the first order can only have one. Collectors and investors are getting ready for them to sell out quickly.. Sales started at 12:00 PM EST on November 10, 2025, on the U.S. Mint’s online American Eagle product page. Each coin cost $105.00.

This price aligns with the Mint’s other 2025 commemorative releases, including the Army and Navy 250th Anniversary Silver Eagles, both of which sold out within hours of release earlier this year. Given those precedents, demand for the Marine Corps edition is anticipated to be equally intense, if not greater.

This latest release marks the fourth special American Silver Eagle of 2025 and the third military-themed coin in the Mint’s ongoing 250th-anniversary series. It follows:

U.S. Army 250th Anniversary 2025-W Proof American Silver Eagle (June 13 release)

U.S. Navy 250th Anniversary 2025-S Proof American Silver Eagle (October 10 release)

2025-W Proof Silver Eagle with Laser Privy Mark (August 20 release)

All three earlier editions sold out rapidly and are now commanding significant premiums on the secondary market. This trend indicates that the Marine Corps Silver Eagle could see similar appreciation soon after its release.Design and Symbolism

Every design element of this coin carries deep meaning. On the obverse, Lady Liberty strides forward, draped in the American flag, holding laurel and oak branches — representing civil and military glory. The inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “2025,” and Weinman’s artist mark. On the back, there is an eagle landing with an oak branch and words that say “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” and “ONE DOLLAR.” The “P” mint mark boldly shows that it came from the Philadelphia Mint. Giving money to the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation

This release has a charitable side in addition to being collectible. The Marine Corps Heritage Foundation will get $10 for every coin sold. If all the coins are sold, this may raise up to $1 million. The Marine Corps Heritage Center, education, and exhibitions will all benefit from these donations, which will help the foundation carry out its objective to preserve and promote the history of the Marine Corps. This is a partnership between the U.S.. Mint and the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation ensures that every coin not only honors history but actively contributes to preserving it.
