2000-W American Silver Eagle

2000-W American Silver Eagle

The 2000-W American Silver Eagle was part of an exclusive Millennium set that came with the Silver Eagle, the Sacajawea Dollar, and a $1 currency note to commemorate the Millennium year. This was a very rare coin out of the series, and a perfect 70 can cost as much as $4,000 and is extremely rare. This coin is a special one for those looking for a unique piece of American history. 

 

History of the 2000-W American Silver Eagle

The 2000-W American Silver Eagle is a real treasure that is worth adding to any Silver Eagle series collection. 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 an olive branch in its talons. Above the eagle are 13 five-pointed stars that represent the 13 original colonies.

 

2000-W American Silver Eagle Value

The 2000-W American Silver Eagle can go for upwards of $4,000 for the highest grade of the coin, but can go for less than one hundred dollars for a coin in just one grade lower than a perfect 70. The 2000-W American Silver Eagle would make a great addition to any Silver Eagle series collection.
