The American Eagle was first struck in 1986, when the American Eagle program began. The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's beloved Walking Liberty design, displaying a flag-draped Lady Liberty walking with an outstretched, welcoming right arm and a left hand holding olive branches. In the background is the sun and its rays. The design was first used on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar, which was minted between 1916 and 1947. The reverse features a Heraldic Eagle designed by John Mercanti.
All American Silver Eagles are made of 1 Troy oz. .999 fine silver and bear a denomination of $1. The coin is struck yearly in both uncirculated (mint state) and proof condition. All Mint State pieces are struck in Philadelphia, while the proof pieces have been struck at multiple mints:
1986-1992: San Francisco (S)
1993-2000: Philadelphia (P)*
2001-present:: West Point (W)
*In 1995, a small mintage of proofs was struck at West Point for inclusion in a 5-coin proof set which also contained each denomination of proof American Gold Eagle.
