Instantly, the liberty silver coin became one of the most revered iconic designs in the history of American coinage. In the obverse side, it is inscribed with the year of issuance, the phrase “In God We Trust”, and the word “Liberty”. An eagle with a shield is seen at the reverse side and this signifies strength and endurance. John Mercanti is the co-designer of this side. The eagle also relates to the great seal of the United States. Thirteen five-pointed stars are seen above the eagle which represents the thirteen colonies at that time. Lastly, this side is inscribed with the phrases “E PLURIBUS UNUM”, “1 oz FINE SILVER DOLLAR”, “United states of America”, and the mintmark if indicated.
The coins were initially in bullion version but in the latter part a proof and uncirculated version were also produced in various mintmark loctaions. The first two versions mentioned are solely intended for coin collectors who are huge fans of the US silver dollar. The American silver eagle was produced at three mints namely the Philadelphia Mint, the West Point Mint, and the San Francisco Mint. Bullion Silver Eagle coins bear no mintmarks. Proof silver coins bear different mintmarks. If the proof coins are minted at West Point, the mintmark is “W”. From 2006 onwards, the United States issued an uncirculated coin which serves as a collectible usually bearing the “W” mintmark but earlier versions of this type of American silver eagle have the “S” mintmark.
