2018 American Silver Eagle

The 2018 American Silver Eagle had a total mintage of 15.7 million coins struck at the Philadelphia Mint and other mints where regular strike, uncirculated Silver Eagle coins were struck as well. The regular strike uncirculated coins didn’t feature a mint mark. It was only the Proof coins within this series that featured the mint mark where they were struck. While the mintage is slightly lower than in some of the previous years, it’s still possible to find this coin in the highest Mint State grades.

History of the 2018 American Silver Eagle

The 2018 American Silver Eagle was typically well-struck and possible to find without blemishes. Coins in perfect condition typically cost a small premium compared to some in the series, but still affordable. 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.
