After watching the success of the South African Gold Krugerrand and the Canadian Maple Leaf Gold and Silver coins, the United States entered the fray in 1986. Congress authorized both the American Gold Eagle bullion coins and the American Silver Eagle bullion coins. The coins were an immediate success.These coins were guaranteed to be successful because they picked a design for the obverse that was already popular and successful. The design chosen was the Walking Liberty design that had been used on United States Half Dollars struck between 1916 and 1947.The design depicts an allegorical representation of Miss Liberty, walking in front of a rising sun. She is wrapped in flowing robes and an American flag, while she carries an olive branch. The design by Adolph Weinman was beloved and very popular.The obverse of these Silver coins is a faithful reproduction of Weinman’s design. The word “LIBERTY,” adorns the upper periphery while the date is below Miss Liberty. In the right field is the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST.”The reverse of the American Silver Eagle bullion coin uses a Heraldic Eagle design as created by US Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti. The eagle has a banner in its beak with “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” inscribed on it. Above the eagle are thirteen 5-pointed stars. Around the peripheries are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ONE OUNCE FINE SILVER – ONE DOLLAR.”This particular coin has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as Proof70, ULTRA CAMEO. NGC is one of the major, independent, third-party grading services and the Proof 70 grade places the coin as being in Perfect condition. The Ultra Cameo designation means that the coin has mirrored fields and clean surfaces. The quality of this .999 Fine Silver coin is unimprovable.Simply click the “Add to Cart” button now or call to speak to one of our highly trained numismatists, who will be very happy to assist you.
