150th Anniversary Transcontinental Railroad Proof Coins

At the end of the Civil War, the United States cemented its place as a technological power with an immense undertaking. Pitting two railroad companies against each other in a race from the Mississippi to the Pacific, they laid 1,776 miles of track, finally joining them together at Promontory Point in Utah on May 10th, 1869, united with the "Golden Spike". Now, The Transcontinental Railroad Proof Coin Collection, only from The Bradford Exchange Mint, commemorates the 150th anniversary of this historic achievement beginning with Issue One, the 150th Anniversary of the Golden Spike Proof Coin, specially priced at $9.99. Soon, your collection will continue at the regular issue price of $39.99 plus $5.95 shipping and service with Issue Two, the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862 Proof Coin and FREE display box, followed by Issue Three, the Theodore Judah's Proposal Proof Coin and additional collectible Transcontinental Railroad Proof coins, each a separate issue to follow.‡

Intended as collectors' items, each of the Proof-condition anniversary coins in your collection is plated in gleaming 99.9% silver for enduring value. Featured on the reverse sides are scenes from the Transcontinental Railroad's famed history, like the locomotives of the Union and the Central Pacific railways facing each other on the first-ever track. Accents of 24K gold lend stunning definition to each Proof, marking special privy marks and highlights like the Golden Spike, while the location and dates of each key event provide a touch of authenticity. On the obverse sides, the heraldic eagle and shield design used on the Seated Liberty Half Dollar from the same era is recreated in amazing detail. Specially prepared coining dies create polished, mirror-like fields and raised, frosted images for a museum-quality presentation. Plus, each heirloom-quality Proof coin collectible arrives sealed in a crystal-clear capsule for enduring protection, and the FREE display box is perfect for showing off and storing your entire collection. Strong demand is expected for this once-in-a-lifetime 150th anniversary tribute honoring the service and sacrifice of our Transcontinental Railroad heroes, so don't miss this opportunity. Order now!
