History of the 1990-S American Silver Eagle

The 1990-S American Silver Eagle is a popular coin, as is the series in general. The designs are well-loved, and this coin can be found at more affordable prices compared to some of the other more scarce coins in the series. The design on the reverse of the American Silver Eagle was inspired by the “Walking Liberty” design of the Walking Liberty Half Dollar that was designed by Adolph Weinman. It was one of the most beloved designs of all American coins and was revived for the American Silver Eagle coins. The reverse was designed by John Mercanti. It features the American Bald Eagle behind a shield. The eagle is holding arrows and olive branch in its talons. Above the eagle are 13 five-pointed stars that represent the 13 original colonies.
