Less than 30 hours remain to order any of the five 2018 World War I Centennial Silver Medals.
Released in mid-January alongside WWI Silver Dollars, their sales deadline is 3:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Feb. 20. The United States Mint will not accept any new orders beyond that time. The companion silver dollars will remain on sale although at slightly higher prices.
Medals Available in Sets
The silver medals honor branches of the U.S. Armed Forces that were active in the First World War with designs emblematic of the Army, the Navy, the Air Service, the Marines and the Coast Guard.
They were conceived by the U.S. Mint to support the WWI Centennial Silver Dollar Commemorative Coin Program. Each medal is paired with a proof silver dollar and sold as a distinct set. Collectors wanting all five medals need to buy the five sets, which boosts silver dollar totals. Surcharges of $10 are collected on the sale of each coin with proceeds, after associated costs, paid to the United States Foundation for the Commemoration of the World Wars to assist the World War I Centennial Commission in memorializing the centenary of the war.
