The Proof Silver American Eagle is the pinnacle of beauty and craftsmanship in modern U.S. coinage. Struck by the United States Mint with a mirror-like finish and frosted details, this coin is a collector favorite and a symbol of American heritage. Each coin contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and bears the iconic Walking Liberty design by Adolph A. Weinman on the obverse--first introduced on the 1916 half dollar. The reverse features a heraldic eagle (Type 1 design, 1986-2021) or an eagle in flight (Type 2 design, 2021-present), depending on the year of issue.
