2009 American Silver Eagle

The 2009 American Silver Eagle had a total mintage of over 30 million coins from the Philadelphia Mint. This was the biggest mintage yet in the series as demand for these coins increased. Many of the earlier Uncirculated Silver Eagles sold under 10 million coins, and often under 5 million coins, so this was a big difference compared to previous years.

History of the 2009 American Silver Eagle

It’s possible to find the 2009 American Silver Eagle in all grades, including the perfect 70 grade. Cherrypicking should be easy as the coins are plentiful. The design on the obverse 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.
