Why today matters
The release coincides with the 250th birthday of the Marine Corps (founded Nov. 10, 1775), a milestone being observed nationwide. Local outlets highlighted the anniversary this morning and noted the Mint’s special coin as part of the commemorations. [10]
Design & placement highlights
The Marine Corps coin maintains the classic Walking Liberty obverse and the Type 2 landing eagle reverse introduced in 2021. The Marine Corps coat‑of‑arms privy mark appears on the obverse and is a distinguishing element of this limited edition. CoinNews notes its placement in the obverse field near “LIBERTY,” complementing Adolph A. Weinman’s design. [11]
Part of a 2025 trio (and a big year for Eagles)
Today’s Marine Corps Silver Eagle is the third and final branch‑anniversary proof in 2025, following:
- Army 250th (West Point “W”): pre‑sale began June 13. [12]
- Navy 250th (San Francisco “S”): orders began Oct. 10. [13]
- Laser‑engraved Silver Eagle (West Point “W”) also debuted this summer as a special innovation piece. [14]
Coverage in the numismatic press indicates the Army and Navy editions sold out quickly, fueling expectations for strong Marine Corps demand. [15]

Editorial take
With a service‑specific privy mark, a modest mintage of 100,000, and the symbolic timing on Nov. 10, today’s Marine Corps Silver Eagle neatly blends numismatic appeal with historical significance. For collectors trying to assemble the three‑coin military set, today’s launch is the final piece—and, given the pack‑in COA and presentation case, a compelling stand‑alone keepsake for Marines and their families, too.
