Uncle Sam became a symbol of the United States government during the War of 1812, but the version we know today took shape over many years. The name is said to have come from Samuel Wilson, a meat packer in Troy, New York, who supplied beef to American troops. His barrels were marked “U.S.” for United States, and soldiers jokingly said they came from “Uncle Sam.” Right now, you can order 2025 2 oz Samoa Silver Uncle Sam Shaped Coins online at BullionMax.
