The American Silver Eagle Coin is, like many other silver bullion products, available only in a 1 oz weight with a nominal face value backed by the federal government. American Silver Eagles debuted in 1986, and are currently available from the US Mint in bullion, proof, and uncirculated versions, the latter of which were introduced in 2006 on the 20th anniversary of the program.
Each 2016 American Silver Eagle Coin listed here today is in BU condition. Coins in BU condition have no wear and tear on the surfaces, though you may notice minor flaws including breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks from the striking of blanks during the production process.
On the reverse of the American Silver Eagle is the heraldic eagle of the United States. In use on American coinage since 1794, this current generation image was created in 1986 by then-Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, John Mercanti, who held the post from 1986 until his retirement in 2010.
The obverse of all 2016 American Silver Eagle coins includes the Walking Liberty image. Designed in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman, it is considered one of the finest coin designs in American history and originally appeared on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar from 1916 to 1947.
The United States Mint is responsible for production of all American Silver Eagle coins. The West Point Mint is the primary production facility for bullion versions, with supplemental assistance from the San Francisco Mint to help meet the intense demand.
