American Bald Eagle Returns as High Flying Commemoratives
Three Coins Honoring the American Bald Eagle for 2008
The three coins consisted of a copper nickel “clad” half dollar and the prize 5 dollar gold piece. The three coins were issued to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the endangered species act of 1973. If you remember back that far it was to help restore the bald eagle from the brink of extinction.

The American Eagle Foundation or (AEF) a nonprofit organization’s goal was to try to educate our congressmen about the endangered bald eagles. In 2004 congress authorized the coins their campaign proved the bald eagle was effective as a Capitol Hill lobbyist but a very effective icon.
Back in December 2007 the U.S. Mint presented the designs for the 3 new coins. All are now struck in proof and uncirculated versions.
The back of the 5 dollar gold piece presents 3 young eagles on a branch. On the front side has the Great Seal of the United States as it was engraved back in 1903. The back side of the silver dollar has an adult eagle soaring in the sky. On the front of the silver dollar presents a replica of the Great Seal of the United States that was used back between 1782 and 1841. The back side of the half dollar presents baby eagles only a few days old in their nest with another egg. The very eagle that visited Capital for the original AEF presentation appears on the front side of the half dollar.
The same eagle is famous and makes a lot of educational visits around the country since 1993. Its name is Challenger in honor of the brave crew of the Challenger disaster.
Back in 2004 more than 40 U.S. Senators got to meet Challenger presented by the AEF and more than 70 senators agreed to support the new coin bill by signing on as co-sponsors.
The release of the three coins also commemorates the removal of the bald eagle from the endangered list. The bald eagle was picked as the symbol of the United States back in 1782 and there were as many as 100,000 nesting eagles around the country. In 1963 the population had dropped to as low as 417 breeding pairs. Much thanks to the AEF and conservation that number is now up to over 10,000 breeding pairs in the lower 48 states.
Why the commemoratives are such a prize collectable has to do with the numbers minted. The 5 dollar gold pieces are only 100,000. The silver half dollar has 500,000 and 750,000 of the “clad” half dollars.
These fantastic coins are a big prize for any coin collection because they represent American Freedom, democracy, courage and strength.
