The 2016 American Silver Eagle coins available for purchase through this product listing are considered near-perfect specimens by the Professional Coin Grading Service. Any coin with an MS69 grade has its full, original mint luster, but also features a maximum of two minor detracting flaws such as miniscule contact marks or blemishes on the surface.

American Silver Eagle bullion coins have been struck every year during the 30-year history of the coin program. Also available in proof and burnished versions, the former was not struck in 2009 and the latter was only recently introduced in 2006 on the 20th anniversary of the coin program’s introduction.

On the obverse of each American Silver Eagle coin you’ll find the historic Walking Liberty design from Adolph A. Weinman. Originally featured on the nation’s half-dollar coin, it depicts America’s desire to find a brighter future by showing Lady Liberty walking toward the setting sun draped in the American flag.

US Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti designed the heraldic eagle that graces the coin’s reverse face. Mercanti’s first design in the post of Chief Engraver was the heraldic eagle on the American Silver Eagle program. He held the post from 1986 to 2010 when he retired, and it remains vacant to this day.
