This legal-tender coin backed by the US government contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver. Each of these Silver Eagles arrives with a Burnished finish, meaning the planchets were polished before the coins were struck, giving the finished product a “matte” appearance. Burnished Silver Eagles are produced by the West Point Mint, and therefore have a “W” mintmark on the reverse. Additionally, these are the very first burnished Type 2 Silver Eagles ever released, so don’t miss your chance to purchase one of your own!

First minted in 1986, Silver American Eagles are the official investment-grade bullion coins of the United States. These coins are produced by the U.S. Mint and are backed by the government of the United States. Globally renowned for their silver content, weight, and purity along with the iconic and timeless design, Silver American Eagles remain a staple of many coin collections. Buy yours today!

The obverse features a design created by the renowned student of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Adolph A. Weinman. Known as the “Walking Liberty”, this design first appeared on Silver Half Dollars in 1916. On the Type 2 Silver Eagle, elements of this iconic obverse design have been modified to more closely resemble the original illustration. Liberty walks forward with her right arm outstretched, holding branches in her left arm. The U.S. flag billows behind her with the sun rising in the background. 

The reverse displays the brand-new reverse design by artist Emily Damstra. A bald eagle flies through the air while carrying an oak branch. It appears to be coming in for a landing with its wings outstretched.
