In 1986, the first American Silver Eagle was made, taking a step up from the Eisenhower dollar of the 70's. Although the obverse design never changes, the desire to own these prized beauties has only grown throughout the US and the world. Low mintages is not the first thought that comes to mind when thinking of the American Silver Eagle but even though there are a lot made every year, certain years are becoming harder and harder to find, thus increasing their numismatic value. It's a phenomenon that has changed dealing in the silver bullion industry and that keeps collectors and investors alike coming back for more.
The US Mint decided to try something new this year and will be releasing 2 American Silver Eagles. The first eagle will be released in January, keeping the same iconic design that has been maintained since 1986. Later, in the year, the US Mint will release a Type 2 version that will display a different reverse design than in the past.

-Obverse: Inspired by Adolph A. Weinman's famous design on the Walking Liberty half dollar from 1916-1947. The Walking Liberty design was chosen, due to its popularity by being the most popular image on a US coin in coinage history. This iconic image graces the obverse of every American Silver Eagle; Lady Liberty is delicately draped in a loose fitting dress as she holds dearly some branches in her arm and the US flag over her shoulders. "Liberty," "In God We Trust," and the date of mintage are stamped on the obverse as well.
-Reverse: The reverse reveals the US Seal: a large eagle with outstretched wings, talons holding branches and arrows, and a shield to protect its chest.
