About This Coin

The 2016 American Silver Eagle is a United States dollar from the American Silver Eagles 1986 to Date series. In 2016, Silver Eagles were struck at the Philadelphia, San Francisco and West Point Mints; published sales figures for some of the year's issues differ or are not yet recorded here. 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. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Weighing 31.1 grams, 40.6 mm in diameter. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman/John Mercanti.
