$1 Silver Eagles


The silver eagle is a 1-oz. bullion coin with a face value of one dollar. The obverse has Adolph A. Weinman's Liberty Walking design used on the half dollar coins from 1916 through 1947. his initials are on the hem of the gown. The reverse design is a rendition of a heraldic eagle by John Mercanti.

Since 2001, regular-strike silver eagles have been produced at West Point (without mintmarks), and Proof's have been produced at West Point (with mintmarks).

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Bullion Coinage Program, in 2006 the W mintmark was used on all bullion coins produced except for the Reverse Proof, which was struck at the Philadelphia Mint.
