The History of the American Silver Eagle

Certified American Silver Eagles are among the most sought-after modern U.S. silver collectibles, valued for their iconic design, consistent specifications, and long-standing collector demand. First introduced in 1986, the American Silver Eagle series has become a cornerstone of modern silver collecting and remains one of the most recognized precious metal programs in the United States.

Each certified American Silver Eagle contains one troy ounce of .999 fine silver and features the timeless Walking Liberty design created by renowned sculptor Adolph A. Weinman. This classic artwork, paired with meticulous striking quality, has made Silver Eagles a favorite among collectors seeking both historical artistry and high-quality silver content.

Silver Eagle Designs and Series Types

Over the years, American Silver Eagles have maintained a consistent format while undergoing select design enhancements. Earlier issues feature the classic Heraldic Eagle reverse designed by John Mercanti, while newer releases showcase the Eagle Landing reverse designed by Emily Damstra and engraved by Michael Gaudioso. These design variations add depth and interest to the series, making certified examples especially appealing to collectors building date, mint, or type sets.

Certified Silver Eagles are available across multiple finishes and production styles, including proof, burnished, and business-strike formats. High-grade certified examples offer added assurance of authenticity and preservation, making them ideal for discerning collectors.
