Type 2 American Gold Eagles Coming Soon

American Silver Eagle, it was not known outside the Mint that officials there were also seeking to change the reverse design of the

Since 1981, the one-and-three-quarter-acre space of Pershing Park has been home to the statue of Gen. John J Pershing. Lead designer Joe Weishaar was tasked with creating some context with the new additions. This includes a new layout for the plaza, reflecting pool and sculpture. But Weishaar said it hasn’t been easy. So many challenges, both because we re combatting the historic preservation elements, but also, how do you take what’s here and work with it, Weishaar said.
“In here we have interpretive educational content that describes both the conflict, the people who were in it, the ways that it impacted and changed the world, and then the sculpture, which won’t be installed until 2024, is really the story of American involvement in the war,” Weishaar said.
