In 1986, the release of the 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle was met with much anticipation from silver buyers. Nearly 1.5 million coins were sold in 1986 and this mintage figure remains the highest in the program’s history as of 2023. The 1986 issue was the first of seven consecutive releases struck by the San Francisco Mint.

The obverse of 1986-S Proof American Silver Eagles comes with the depiction of Walking Liberty. This design from the 1916 US Half Dollar shows Liberty’s full-length figure in left-profile relief as she walks toward the sun on the horizon. She carries the branches of oak and laurel in her left hand with the American flag draped around her figure.

On the reverse side of the 1986-S 1 oz Proof Silver Eagle Coins is the heraldic eagle. The design shows the bald eagle supporting the US national shield. The eagle clutches the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace, with a triangular cluster of 13 stars over its head.
