History of the 2000 Silver Eagle
In 1986 the American Silver Eagle, produced through the United States Mint, became the country's official silver bullion coin. On the observe, Lady Liberty stands in shining glory with the sun setting behind her, and a large American bald eagle with shield, stars, arrows and branch shows on the reverse. These designs came from engraver Adolph A. Weinman. This coin is unique in that the only change to the design since 1986 is the mint mark on the back.
Though over 70 million American Eagle coins exist, each year has a smaller mintage compared to other coins released in the year. The 2000 version of the American Eagle Silver Dollar came from the Philadelphia mint. It had a mintage of 600,000. This makes it somewhat rare in spite of its later mintage date, especially in proof condition.
