The Design

Following the American Eagles pattern, the obverse has Lady Liberty and the reverse, the Bald Eagle, as the motif.

Lady Liberty is the personification of the US nation and has long been a symbol of prosperity and pride. The coin’s obverse design is Adolph A. Weinman's creation. In the image, Liberty carries oak branches as a sign of abundance, and her stretched other arm signifies a welcome sign. The American flag waves over her shoulder while she walks toward the sun's rays. 

The word “LIBERTY” arches over her, the year of mintage is on the bottom rim, and the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” is on the lower right.

The Bald Eagle is also a symbol of the nation. A design update was part of the program anniversary, giving the Eagle a natural sight as it perches on a branch. The inscriptions read: “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ONE DOLLAR,” “1 OZ,” and “FINE SILVER,” separated by stars. The motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM” is aside, above the coin’s weight and metal content.

The American Silver Eagles Series

The American Silver Eagle premiered in 1986, right after its counterpart, the Gold Eagle. The collection never stopped including elements in its catalog, making the American Eagle Series an extensive collection.

Silver Eagle only strikes coins weighing 1 troy ounce, but they are also available in Burnished and Proof versions. Following the US Mint standard, the 2023 Silver Eagle contains .999 fine silver and a diameter of 40.6mm (1.598 in).

From the 2022 1 oz Silver Eagles, all the coins have reeded edge variations to avoid counterfeits.

The MS-70 NGC Grade

NGC is the acronym for Numismatic Guaranty Company. NGC became a globally well-respected service with over 30 years of experience grading and certifying coins based on their condition and authenticity.

According to the NGC, MS-70 stands for Mint State, meaning that the coin verified has the shape of a widespread circulation coin and is in perfect condition, with no visual marks of use.
