2019 Presidential Silver Medals

About This Coin

As the second year of the Presidential Silver Medals series, the 2019 issue built upon the foundation established by the inaugural 2018 release, refining the program's artistic approach while maintaining the collector-embraced format. The obverse features presidential portraits executed with modern Mint engraving precision, while reverse designs represent each president's contributions to American history. The second-year medals benefited from experience with the initial release, allowing designers to calibrate portrait styles and compositions based on collector feedback. A notable result of $1.6K in MS70 grade at eBay — significantly higher than the first-year medal's $139 MS70 price — may reflect stronger demand for specific presidents honored in 2019 or natural market dynamics elevating second-year issues. Designed by various U.S. Mint designers during an era of renewed interest in numismatic artistry, the 2019 medals demonstrate the series' commitment to presidential commemoration through fine silver. For series collectors, the 2019 medals represent the critical sophomore year confirming the program's viability and establishing the trajectory for seven subsequent annual releases.
