American Silver eagles are only struck in the one-troy ounce size, which has a face value of one dollar and is guaranteed to contain one troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver. The Silver American Eagle coins were minted at the San Francisco Mint from 1986 – 1992. From 1993 – 2000 the coins were minted in the Philadelphia Mint. In 2001 the Silver Eagle production moved to West Point where the minting is still done today. Adolph A. Weinman designed the obverse known as The Walking Liberty and Emily Damstra designed the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cnoscript\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-245634 alignleft lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/5312\/9094\/files\/mercanti-signing_7de3310e-2883-40f5-adf3-edea605296ac.jpg?v=1761419757\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"336\"\u003e\u003c\/noscript\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmily Damstra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmily Damstra earned an M.F.A. in science illustration from the University of Michigan and embarked on a career as a freelance illustrator.

Weinman on the obverse. I knew that it would be a challenge to follow the lead of John Mercanti, the United States Mint sculptor and engraver (and later United States Mint chief engraver) who created the original reverse design — a superb rendering of a heraldic eagle.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDamstra has designed many United States coins and medals, including:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2021 American Eagle Silver Coin Program – reverse\u003cbr\u003e2020 American Innovation $1 Coin Program – Massachusetts reverse\u003cbr\u003e2020 America the Beautiful Quarters® Program – Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve reverse\u003cbr\u003e2019 American Innovation $1 Coin Program – Georgia reverse\u003cbr\u003e2019 Native American $1 Coin – reverse\u003cbr\u003e2019 America the Beautiful Quarters® Program – Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness reverse\u003cbr\u003e2018 Breast Cancer Awareness Commemorative Coin Program – Common obverse\u003cbr\u003e2018 Breast Cancer Awareness Commemorative Coin Program – Common reverse\u003cbr\u003e2017 Boys Town Centennial Commemorative Coin Program – Silver obverse\u003cbr\u003e2017 Boys Town Centennial Commemorative Coin Program – Silver reverse\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis beautiful American Silver Eagle was certified and graded by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service).
