Description

The 2006 (P) Reverse Proof Silver Eagle - 20th Anniversary is a proof Silver Eagle struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the American Silver Eagles 1986 to Date series. The U.S. Mint sold 248,875 reverse proof Silver Eagles dated 2006. The obverse features Liberty striding confidently toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag, carrying branches of laurel and oak symbolizing civil and military glory — Adolph Weinman's design adapted from the Walking Liberty Half Dollar and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle behind a shield, designed by John M. Mercanti. The 20th Anniversary set introduced the first burnished (W) Silver Eagle. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Struck in .999 fine silver, weighing 31.1 grams, 40.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #799977.
