American Silver Eagle coins were introduced in 1986, along with its gold counterpart, as the official bullion coin of the United States. Similar to the gold program, the United States Mint revived an iconic design from American coining history to feature on the obverse side of the coins.
Adolph A. Weinman, a student of the famous Augustus Saint-Gaudens, was chosen in 1915 to help in the redesign of America’s silver coins. US Mint Engraver Charles Barber had been responsible for the design of all American silver coinage dating back to 1892, but his designs were slowly phased out starting in 1912.
Weinman’s depiction of Lady Liberty marching confidently westward toward the setting sun was inspiration. It depicted the nation’s desire for expansion and fearless approach to the unknown future, but it proved difficult for the US Mint to strike with clarity. The Mint was eventually able to produce the design effectively on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar from 1916 to 1947.
Today, the image features on the obverse face of all American Silver Eagle coins. In it, Liberty walks toward the setting sun with the American flag draped around her shoulders. The reverse features US Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle. Echoing the images of the Great Seal of the United States, the image features 13 stars representing the original colonies, and a bald eagle behind the heraldic shield of America.

I’ve been using JMB for two plus years. No problems ever. I don’t review every transaction, but thought I’d post one since its been a while. I try to order 1-2 times per month and will continue using JNB for my silver purchases.

Paul from GA–
I Recently picked up a few of the 2016 Silver Eagles. They came as advertised packaged neat, tight and secure in plastic flips. The coins were in perfect condition as expected. This was my 12th order this year. I have nothing but good things to say about JM Bullion. They offer great pricing and no hidden costs are involved. I actually switched from my local coin shop last year in search for superior products and better pricing. I have accomplished both by purchasing from JM Bullion with no regrets. I will be back for more soon.
