Description

A Silver Eagle from the San Francisco Mint, the 2011 (S) Silver Eagle - 25th Anniversary Set belongs to the American Silver Eagles 1986 to Date series. 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 25th Anniversary set included a reverse proof Silver Eagle. Coined at the San Francisco Mint, which transitioned from Gold Rush-era production to its modern role producing proof and collector issues. Struck in .999 fine silver, weighing 31.1 grams, 40.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #509299.
