Showcasing breathtaking artistry on a grand scale, the 2018 10 oz Proof Silver Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle is a standout release from the Perth Mint. Struck in 10 troy ounces of .9999 fine silver, this oversized proof has been certified PF 70 Ultra Cameo (UCAM) by NGC, confirming flawless surfaces and razor-sharp contrast. Designed by John M. Mercanti, the 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, this coin delivers both commanding presence and flawless beauty.
The Wedge-Tailed Eagle series, introduced in 2014, has become one of the Perth Mint’s most admired programs for its dynamic and lifelike depictions of Australia’s largest bird of prey. The wedge-tailed eagle is known for its immense wingspan, reaching up to 2.7 meters, and its ability to soar for hours, surveying wide stretches of territory. By pairing this majestic creature with the expansive 10 oz silver canvas, the Perth Mint created a proof that emphasizes fine detail and dramatic visual impact, making it one of the most impressive issues in the series.

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options.
