U.S. Mint Releases Woodrow Wilson Presidential Silver Medal
The U.S. Mint released the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Silver Medal today, struck from one ounce of .999 fine silver and continuing the Mint's ongoing Presidential Silver Medal program that began in 2018. This medal commemorates Wilson's presidency (1913-1921) and features designs by George T. Morgan, with his portrait on the obverse and a symbolic eagle with the Capitol on the reverse. The medal is priced at $164. Sales data through mid-March shows George Washington remains the most popular medal with 39,246 units sold, followed by Abraham Lincoln (22,704) and Thomas Jefferson (26,278). Most other presidential medals average between 10,000 and 15,000 units sold, indicating steady collector demand for this series. The U.S. Mint plans to release three more presidential medals later in 2026 honoring Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. The program highlights sustained interest in silver collectibles, providing a modest supply boost for one-ounce fine silver demand amidst broader market dynamics. Collectors and investors should monitor upcoming releases and sales trends, with the current $164 price suggesting a premium over spot silver levels due to numismatic appeal. Key risks include fluctuating silver prices and collector interest shifts impacting ongoing program sales.
