Description: This coin holds the unique distinction of being the first and only bimetallic coin produced by the United States Mint and the first commemorative coin issued in the new millennium. The core of the coin is minted from a quarter ounce of platinum and features the hand of Minerva raising the Torch of Learning over the Jefferson Building. An outer ring minted from a quarter ounce of gold features the name, date and denomination of the coin. Only 27,445 proof coins were struck at the WestPoint Mint. Signed - (Provenance of Only 82 Signed) Rhett Jeppson was given the first-ever title of Principal Deputy Director in January of 2015 and was nominated by President Barack Obama to become the U. S. Mint’s 39th Director. Rhett Jeppson served our country for twenty-eight years, as a United States Marine. For a period of that time, from 2009 to 2010, Rhett served as Deputy Director of Operations for U.S. Forces in Afghanistan. When concluding his military career, he joined the Small Business Administration and rose to acting chief operating officer in 2014. When he assumed the position at the Mint, he hit the ground running and never looked back. During the two years prior to his tenure, the Mint contributed a profit of less than $350 million to the Treasury General Fund. During his time at the helm, the General Fund saw profitable returns in excess of $550 million annually. In spite of metal supply issues and increased demand, the Mint’s ability to cut costs and maintain a perfect delivery record, while shipping 16 billion circulating coins was a masterful accomplishment by Rhett Jeppson. Professionaly graded and hand-signed coins are prized and sought after by many signature coin collectors.
