Start your collection today and witness the legacy of the silver American Eagle unfold before your eyes. 

History of Silver American Eagle Coin

The American Silver Eagle coin is the official silver bullion coin of the United States, minted under the backings of the US Mint. The first American silver Eagle coin was released in 1986 and began a numismatic legacy. This coin bears the iconic 1986 date mark on its obverse side, symbolizing its historical significance. Consisting solely of a one troy oz silver coin with a purity of .999, the American Silver Eagle carries a face value of $1 (USD), backed by the unwavering support of the federal government.

The obverse side features a timeless depiction of Lady Liberty, while the reverse side showcases the majestic American bald eagle, unchanging in its designs. Investors and collectors can choose from three distinct options: the uncirculated (bullion) coin, the proof coin, and the burnished coin. The bullion coin has been available without interruption since its inception, while the proof coin debuted alongside its uncirculated counterpart in 1986.

In 2009, the production of proof coins was temporarily halted due to the overwhelming demand for silver, necessitating the redirection of resources toward the uncirculated program. In 2006, burnished coins were introduced as an additional collectible option to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the coin program.

Though for the time being suspended in 2009 and 2010, the burnished coin has since regained its place in production, fascinating enthusiasts with its distinct demand.

Design of Silver American Eagle Coin

Immerse yourself in the rich history and timeless artistry of the original American silver Eagle design by Adolph A. Weinman and John Mercanti. The obverse depicts Weinman's signature Walking Liberty design, famous for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar from 1916 until 1947.

 Between 1986 and 2021, John Mercanti's reverse design featured a magnificent heraldic eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows representing power, peace, and the thirteen original colonies. 

As the program commemorated its 35th anniversary in 2021, the United States Mint introduced new reverse designs by AIP Designer Emily Damstra, sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso. The new design showcases a majestic eagle gracefully descending with an oak branch, symbolizing growth and freedom.
