International Precious Metals, a leading provider of U.S. Mint bullion and rare certified coins, announced that they've secured an exclusive allocation of Joel Iskowitz signature label 2018 “First Day of Issue” American Eagle Gold Sets – a first from the Master Coin Designer. Each set contains all four recently released American Gold Eagle denominations in perfect Mint State 70 Grade by The Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC); the world's largest third-party coin grading service.

Having created over 50 U.S. coin and medal designs issued in the last decade, Joel Iskowitz is the most prolific U.S. coinage designer of the modern era. As a member of the U.S. Mint’s elite Artistic Infusion Program, he has designed five reverses for Platinum American Eagles, seven commemorative coins, nine First Spouse coins, six quarters, and four Presidential $1 coins. Mr. Iskowitz has 15 Congressional Medal of Honor design credits including The New Frontier Congressional Gold Medal, awarded to astronauts John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin. He's also the only American to design the portrait of the queen for a British coin. Joel Iskowitz is one of few living artists to have had his artwork displayed in the Pentagon, the Capitol, and the White House at the same time.

“Over the years we’ve been fortunate to recognize and bring to market some of the most distinguished signature gold sets to have ever existed. With a total NGC population of only 80 sets, these scarce Joel Iskowitz hand-signed certified NGC coin labels are highly treasured and will certainly assist us in continuing that important legacy. We’re looking forward to many more exclusive low population Joel Iskowitz signature coin releases,” said Barry Jepson, President and CEO. He added, “I’m proud that a very select number of our clients will have access to our historic, low population Joel Iskowitz signature American Eagle coins. In addition, accompanying each five coin set is a one-of-a-kind Certificate of Authenticity which has also been hand-signed and numbered by Joel at a special signing ceremony that took place at our national headquarters.”

Since 1995, International Precious Metals has grown to become one of the largest and most recognized nationwide dealers of U.S. Mint coins and a leader in rare historic U.S. Gold and Silver.
