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 !
