About This Coin
The 2023 American Silver Eagle is a United States dollar from the American Silver Eagles 1986 to Date series — a late issue, 38th of 41 years in the series. In 2023, coins were struck at the West Point, S,W, and San Francisco Mints with a combined mintage of 25.7 million. This ranks 30th of 40 years by total mintage, above the series median of 11.8 million. 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 iconic design adapted from the Walking Liberty Half Dollar and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle behind a shield, designed by John M. Mercanti — the most reproduced coin image in history (1986-2020) or an eagle in flight carrying an oak branch, the redesigned reverse by Emily Damstra introduced in 2021 (2021+). A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. 40.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Across its variants, estimated values range from $155 to $196 depending on mint mark, grade, and strike type. A notable auction result reached $2.5K in SP70 grade at eBay. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman (obverse) / John M. Mercanti (reverse 1986-2020) / Emily Damstra (reverse 2021+).
