Celebrating the 225th anniversary of the establishment of the United States Marshals Service, America’s first federal law enforcement agency, the US mint kicks off a coin program with the release of six coins commemorating the event. The actual date passed last September, but this is a 2015 coin program and will be minted through until the end of the year, or until the mintage limits are reached.

Described by the mint “The United States Marshals Service is the nation’s oldest federal law enforcement agency, having served our nation since 1789. Ensuring liberty and justice for our infant nation, the U.S. Marshals Service was formed when President George Washington signed the Judiciary Act into law in 1789. With a history woven around our Constitution, the U.S. Marshals Service continues, 225 years later, with the same principles of justice, integrity and service.”, it’s clearly an organisation worth the attention.

All the coins will be available from the 29 January, but are up to order from the US Mints website. Comprising three different designs, one for each metal, with each available in a choice of two finishes, all are of a high standard in our opinion. The three coin set looks particularly good.
