A Legacy of Excellence
Launched in 1986 under the Liberty Coin Act, the American Silver Eagle quickly became the United States’ official silver bullion coin and a benchmark for quality worldwide. The 2002 proof release reflects the series’ continued commitment to fine artistry and metal purity. Its “W” mintmark ties it to West Point, the Mint’s hub for high-end proof and collector issues, and its certified silver content makes it eligible for inclusion in Precious Metals IRAs.

Obverse: Adolph A. Weinman’s timeless Walking Liberty shows Lady Liberty draped in the American flag, striding confidently toward the rising sun. She carries laurel and oak branches, symbols of peace and strength, with inscriptions reading “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the year of issue.
Reverse: John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle appears behind a shield, clutching arrows and an olive branch while 13 stars arch above—representing the original colonies. Legends include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” and “ONE DOLLAR,” alongside the “W” mintmark
