The set includes a United States Mint American Silver Eagle one-ounce coin with an enhanced Reverse Proof finish and a Royal Canadian Mint one-ounce Silver Maple Leaf coin with a modified Proof finish. Both finishes are firsts for these coins. The set will also feature the first bilingual (English and French) certificate of authenticity (COA) produced by the U.S. Mint.
After the set goes on sale at noon, visitors to Philadelphia Mint will be able to have Mint products or COAs signed by both U.S. Mint Director Ryder and Royal Canadian Mint Chief Executive Marie Leman, from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m.
Later this summer, limited quantities will be available at the American Numismatic Association’s World’s Fair of Money on August 13 through 17, 2019. United States Mint Director David Ryder and Royal Canadian Mint CEO Marie Lemay will be on hand to sign certificates of authenticity for the set.

I have to say that the U.S. Mint has hit a “HOME RUN” with their recent issue of the Pride of Two Nations double coin set this month . For sure the reverse proof silver eagle coins issued in the past few years are un doubt ably very attractive coins , but this enhanced reverse proof in the Pride of Two Nations double coin set is by far the most beautiful American Silver Eagle I have ever lay’ed my eyes on . Great job West Point Mint !
