When the U.S. Mint introduces sales for the End of World War II 75th Anniversary American Eagle gold and silver coins sometime this fall, the offering will include two gold coins in different compositions and weights.

The U.S. Mint released pricing information on several upcoming precious metals numismatic products, including the Uncirculated 2020-W American Eagle palladium $25 coin that goes on sale Sept. 24.
All pricing is subject to adjustment based on fluctuations in the spot price of the precious metals used.
