The character of Uncle Sam became linked to the United States government during the War of 1812, and his familiar image developed over time. The name is believed to have originated with Samuel Wilson, a meat supplier from Troy, New York. Wilson provided beef barrels to the army, marked “U.S.” for United States, but troops began referring to them as coming from “Uncle Sam.” Right now, you can purchase 2025 2 oz Samoa Silver Uncle Sam Shaped Coins from BGASC.
