Why purchase this flawless Philadelphia minted 2020 American Silver Eagle bullion coin?From April 8-20, 2020, Emergency Production of the bullion Silver Eagle took place at the Philadelphia Mint to satisfy increased demand for precious metals during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. A total of 240,000 coins were struck, resulting in the second lowest bullion mintage since the series' inception in 1986. As is traditional for the bullion variety, the specially struck Silver Eagles do not carry a Mint mark. Instead, this 2020 Silver Eagle is authenticated as a Philadelphia Mint product on its certification label only. Breathtaking Walking Liberty ImageryThe obverse features a revival of Adolph A. Weinman's personification of Liberty originally struck on the 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar, depicting Lady Liberty as a young woman strolling towards the rising sun draped in an American flag. Inscribed "LIBERTY," "2020" and "IN GOD WE TRUST." The reverse illustrates an eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch and includes the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," "ONE DOLLAR" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM." This stunning and recognizable heraldic design has been created by John Mercanti, whose impressive career as an American sculptor and engraver consisted of being the U.S. Mint's 12th Chief Engraver.
