History of the 2017 American Silver Eagle

The 2017 American Silver Eagle is worth the effort to cherrypick and find one that is well-struck with attractive surfaces. The mintage is smaller than the previous two years, but this is usually a beautifully struck coin. 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.
