About this Product Full Product Name
 

The Silver Eagle is the largest, heaviest and purest silver coin in U.S. history. It is struck with one full ounce of .9993 pure American silver, it is even larger and heavier than the legendary Morgan Silver Dollar. What's more, is not only is it cherished for it's content, but also for its beautiful design of Lady Liberty wrapped in the American Flag. It is a true classic that was first used on Silver Half Dollars from 1916-1947 and is one of the greatest symbols of American freedom.


This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the Silver Eagle and the long-awaited 2016 Proof Silver Eagles have finally arrived! The Silver Eagle Dollar is coveted as a collector's tri-fecta: it is the largest, heaviest and purest silver coin in U.S. history. It is struck from one full ounce of .9993 pure American silver and is even larger and heavier than the legendary Morgan Silver Dollar. The Silver Eagle's metal content is not the only reason it is famous, it is also revered for its beautiful design: Lady Liberty wrapped in the American Flag, a scene that is considered to be one of the greatest symbols of American Freedom. The design is a true classic that was first used on Silver Half Dollars from 1916-1947. Since its introduction in 1986, the Silver Eagle has quickly become the World's #1 Silver Dollar.

A Special Anniversary Design!


In honor of the 30th Anniversary of the Silver Eagle, the United States Mint has created a special collectors edition first that’s sure to be coveted for generations: they struck their first edge lettered Silver Eagles! That’s right, for the very first time the U.S. Mint has created special ‘incuse edge lettering’ on all the proof silver eagles minted this year, with “30th Anniversary” struck into the edge of the coin. The design of obverse and reverse of the silver eagle is identical to how it looks every-other year in the series. What makes this coin even more special is the fact that this special edge lettering will only last for a single year!

This coin will come in its Original Government Packaging
The Only Silver Eagle with Edge Lettering!
