At Westminster Mint, we offer collectors and investors access to some of the most important and desirable modern coins in American history. Among these, U.S. Mint coins signed by Edmund C. Moy and David J. Ryder stand in a class of their own. These two respected leaders—just two of thirty-seven people to serve as Director of the U.S. Mint since its founding in 1792—have signatures that are now synonymous with excellence in numismatics.
From American Gold Eagles to American Silver Eagles, coins certified with their autographs are more than precious metal—they’re authenticated pieces of history.
Edmund C. Moy and David Ryder: Two Eras, One Enduring Legacy
Edmund C. Moy (2006–2011): The Collector’s Advocate
Edmund Moy served during a period of great innovation at the Mint, with a clear focus on enhancing quality and engaging collectors. Under his leadership:
-
The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle captivated numismatists with its artistry and historical homage.
-
The American Gold and Silver Eagles saw improved proof quality and broader collector accessibility.
-
Moy championed high-relief and low-mintage commemoratives, now prized among modern rarities.
His signature is closely associated with a time when the Mint redefined its relationship with collectors.
David J. Ryder (1992–1993, 2018–2021): The Architect of Modern Change
Ryder brought innovation to both terms of his directorship—most notably in the 21st century:
-
Oversaw the 2021 reverse redesigns of the American Gold and Silver Eagles, the first in the series' history.
-
Introduced security enhancements, including anti-counterfeiting measures on bullion coins.
-
Supported new coin finishes, packaging styles, and low-mintage specialty issues that invigorated the market.
Ryder’s influence is seen most clearly in the American Silver Eagle, where his signature marks the transition to a bold new chapter in the series’ legacy.
American Gold & Silver Eagles: Collecting the Icons
Whether gold or silver, coins from the Eagle bullion series are among the most collected modern coins in the world. Moy and Ryder played instrumental roles in shaping their evolution:
-
American Gold Eagles under Moy were known for elevated production standards and eye appeal, while Ryder’s term delivered the first-ever reverse redesign in 2021.
-
American Silver Eagles, the world's most popular silver bullion coin, became even more collectible thanks to Ryder’s push for security and Moy’s commitment to pristine, collector-grade issues.
Signed coins from both men in these series are cornerstones for any high-quality collection.
What Makes Signed Coins So Valuable?
When a coin bears the certified signature of a former U.S. Mint Director, it's more than just a beautifully struck piece of metal—it's a documented link to U.S. monetary history. With only thirty-seven people having served in this prestigious role since 1792, their signed coins are inherently rare.
Add the fact that Moy and Ryder are two of the most well-known directors in modern memory, and it’s easy to see why collectors and investors compete for these encapsulated treasures.
