Washington, DC, Feb. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 2023 United States Mint (Mint) Congratulations Set will be available for purchase beginning on March 2, 2023, at noon EST.  Production is limited to 40,000 sets.  Orders are limited to three sets per household.

Priced at $82, this unique set is perfect for celebrating any special occasion or milestone.  The set features a 2023-dated American Eagle Proof Silver Dollar bearing the "W" mint mark of the West Point Mint where it was produced.  The obverse (heads) of the coin displays sculptor Adolph A. Weinman’s full-length figure of Liberty in full stride, enveloped in folds of the flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left.  Inscriptions are "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "2023."

The coin’s reverse (tails) displays a rendition of a majestic bald eagle as it approaches a landing, carrying an oak branch, as if to add it to a nest.  Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," and "ONE DOLLAR."  United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Designer Emily Damstra created the reverse design, which United States Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso sculpted.
