Ground Breaking Mintage Record

The American Silver Eagle coin faced its lowest production point in 1996, striking just 4.1 million coins due to minimal interest amidst a robust economy and low silver prices. However, as concerns over Y2K and escalating silver prices emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the program witnessed remarkable growth.

In 2002, American Silver Eagle coin production surged to 11.1 million coins, nearly tripling the output from 1996. The bullion variant alone soared from 3.6 million coins in 1996 to an impressive 10.5 million in 2002, marking the highest figure since 1987's 11.44 million. Notably, all 2002 American Silver Eagle coins were minted at the United States Mint's West Point facility, with only the proof versions bearing the "W" mint mark—an emblem of distinction absent from bullion coins.
