Presidential Silver Medal Honoring James A. Garfield Available On April 30
2024, April 30

US Mint - The James A. Garfield Presidential Silver Medal will be available for purchase directly from the United States Mint (Mint) starting on April 30 at noon EDT. Garfield was the nation's 20th President, serving from March 1881 until his death in September 1881 after being shot by an assassin in July of that year.

The Department of the Treasury has a long-standing tradition of honoring each President of the United States with an official bronze medal struck by the Mint. The Mint is now replicating this series of medals in 99.9 percent fine silver, each measuring 1.598 inches in diameter.

The obverse (heads) and reverse (tails) designs of the silver medal honoring the 20th U.S. President are by sculptor Charles E. Barber, who was the Mint's sixth Chief Engraver.

The obverse depicts a portrait of James A. Garfield with the inscription "JAMES A. GARFIELD."

The reverse shows a wreath of laurel and oak leaves wrapped in crossed ribbons. Inside the wreath are the inscriptions "INAUGURATED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MARCH 4, 1881," "ASSASSINATED JULY 2, 1881," and "DIED SEPT 19, 1881."

Each medal is encapsulated and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The James A. Garfield Presidential Silver Medal is priced at $75.

I have not been buying these from the Mint, but at some point I feel like I might want to get them when the aftermarket prices come down.
