  • 1989 American Silver Eagle

The Silver Eagle is an iconic design that is recognized around the world. Adolph A Weinman created the Walking Liberty coin obverse for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar that got used as early as 1916. The text boldly states 'Liberty' and 'In God We Trust' along with the year of issue. The perfect gift for any occasion, the 2020 American Eagle One Ounce Silver Proof Coin is also a collector favorite. The obverse (heads) features Adolph A. Weinman’s full-length figure of Liberty in full stride, enveloped in folds of the flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left. The American Silver Eagle 1 oz 2021 issued by the US Mint is one of the most popular silver bullion products sold today. The front of the American Silver Eagle 1 oz 2021 coin is based on Adolph Weinman’s popular Walking Liberty Half Dollar.

1989

1989 American silver eagles are bullion coins that contain one ounce of .999 fine silver. These large coins may look familiar to coin collectors, and that’s because these large silver pieces feature a design made famous on U.S. half dollars made during the years 1916 through 1947.

The Walking Liberty design, created by Adolph A. Weinman, has been considered as one of the most beautiful coin designs of all time. Upon its revival in 1986, after a 39-year hiatus, the Walking Liberty design helped to draw appeal to the new United States silver bullion coin program, which joined the gold American eagle coins that same year.

Nearly 6 million 1989 American silver eagles were made, with 5,203,327 uncirculated issues struck at the Philadelphia mint and 617,694 proof examples produced at the San Francisco mint. Numismatists will prefer the proof version whereas bullion investors will like the uncirculated issue, which carries only a very small premium over spot price as compared to the proof coin, which was expressly struck for collectors.

If you’re buying a proof variety, cherry pick for the best quality examples you can find, as many of the early American silver eagles have been removed from their original U.S. Mint packaging to be placed into albums and other holders. As a result, many exhibit splotchy toning, fingerprints, and other evidence of poor handling.

1986

In 1986, the United States Treasury embarked on a new bullion coin program that would prove to be one of the most popular in the world. The American Eagle program, approved under the Bullion Coin Act of 1985, would join other world mints, including Canada and South Africa, as a producer of fine bullion coins that would be recognized by investors internationally. 1986 American silver eagles are coins that contain 1 ounce of .9999 fine silver, and is the only silver coin in the American Eagle series, which also includes gold coins weighing 1/10 ounce, 1/4 ounce, 1/2 ounce, and 1 ounce.

While the American Eagle series started out as patently a bullion investor’s coin, the program has caught on with numismatists, too, many of whom collect the coin on an annual basis. Part of the reason the American silver eagle is so popular is that it features the famous Walking Liberty design that first debuted on the half dollar in 1916. The design, a creation of Adolph A. Weinman, helped make the Walking Liberty half dollar (struck from 1916 through 1947) one of the world’s most beautiful coins.

For most years of the American silver eagle program, both uncirculated and proof versions have been struck. In 1986, 5,393,005 uncirculated American silver eagles were produced at the Philadelphia mint while 1,446,778 were made at the San Francisco mint. The first American silver eagles were released to the public on November 24, 1986.
