2016 American Silver Eagle coin offers you a secure, conservative, and beautiful way to grow your collection of silver. These coins have just been released, so you now have the opportunity to be among the first to share in two important anniversaries related to them. One of those anniversaries is that of Adolph Weinman’s highly acclaimed Walking Liberty design, which was brought back for the Silver Eagle after first appearing on the half dollar. That design was created and first issued on the half dollar in 1916, making this the 100th anniversary. It is also the thirtieth anniversary of the Silver Eagle itself. In the Walking Liberty design, the famed character that has frequently appeared on American coinage is shown carrying branches of laurel and oak. She dons a Phrygian cap and is partially covered by the American flag. The reverse of the coin was adapted from the Great Seal of the United States by John Mercanti.
