The American Eagle Series was first minted in 1986 when the United States resumed bullion production for the first time since FDR ended it in 1933. Produced by the US Mint and backed by the US government, these coins are a popular purchase among investors seeking to make their portfolios sturdier.
The US Mint strikes these Silver American Eagle coins from .999 fine silver at a weight of 1 ounce. As legal tender, they have a denomination of $1 and are IRA eligible.
The obverse of this coin features Adolph A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty design that graced American silver half dollars starting in 1916. Here, Lady Liberty marches to the coin’s left, stretching out her arm towards the rising sun. The American flag billows in the background, and she carries a bounty of olive and oak branches in her left arm. The word “LIBERTY” is inscribed along the rim of the coin, along with the year of issue and the phrase “IN GOD WE TRUST”.
The coin’s reverse displays John Mercanti’s updated United States national coat of arms. Here, a bald eagle stretched its wings, holding a bundle of arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other. It grasps a banner reading “E PLURIBUS UNUM” in its beak, and its chest is decorated with a shield showing the US flag. 13 stars shine above the eagle’s head, representing the 13 colonies. The weight, purity, denomination, and country’s name are inscribed around the rim.
