2011-P American Silver Eagle

The American Silver Eagle is a unique coin that is a reverse Proof coin struck at the Philadelphia Mint. It has the ‘P’ mint mark which the regular Uncirculated 2011 American Silver Eagle does not, even though both are struck at the Philadelphia Mint. This makes the coin extra special. The 2011-P American Silver Eagle has a very low mintage of under 100,000 total coins struck and is possible to find in some of the highest grades, including a perfect Proof 70.

History of the 2011-P American Silver Eagle

The 2011-P American Silver Eagle is a special coin as it is a reverse proof. The American Silver Eagle is a popular series among collectors for its interesting history and beloved designs. 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.
