2021 2.5 oz Silver U.S. Air Force Commemorative Medal NGC MS70 Early Releases

The United States Air Force is the largest and most technologically advanced aerial fighting force in the world. With a fleet of more than 13,000 aircraft, the USAF dwarves Russia, its nearest rival, by more than 3 to 1. Initially part of the U.S. Army, the Air Force was established as a separate branch of the U.S. Armed Forces in 1947 following World War II. To pay tribute to the second youngest branch of America’s Armed Forces, the U.S. Mint has released this awesome commemorative medal as part of its Armed Forces Silver Medals Program that’s loaded with enough detail to satisfy any military history buff.

In addition, NGC has further pedigreed these medals with a Early Releases (ER) certification, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of their release. Collectors seek out these types of pieces because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later. 

Just 10,000 of these 2021 2.5-Ounce Silver U.S. Air Force Medals have been struck for worldwide release. That means that there are more Air Force planes than there are medals! Don’t get left grounded; add one of these awesome commemoratives to your personal fleet today!
