The 2023 American Silver Eagle is a highly coveted collector's item for coin enthusiasts and is one of the best silver coins to own.

The American Silver Eagles were an instant success among numismatic coin collectors and silverstackers alike. The revived design of the Walking Lady Liberty on the exceptionally brilliant silver coin was enough to beckon attention.

The Walking Liberty Design on the American Silver Eagle The designs on both the obverse and reverse sides of the 2023 American Eagle silver coins are steeped in U.S. history. Before appearing on Silver Eagles, the Walking Liberty design was featured on the Half-Dollar from the years 1916 to 1947. The design was adapted by Adolph A. Weinman, depicting a US flag dress made of Stars and Stripes draped over the shoulders of Lady Liberty walking towards the setting sun while carrying branches of oak and laurel. The sun has 13 sunrays, symbolic of the 13 colonies. In God We Trust, the phrase or motto is on the right of the coin while Liberty is cast behind her. Under the motto are the original artist’s initials, AW, which were added with the Type-2 changes in 2021. The coin highlights the American movement toward growth and expansion under God. On the reverse side of the 2023 American Silver Eagle, is the flying or landing American bald eagle. The bird is said to be either carrying an oak branch or landing on one. To the left of the oak branch are the initials of the main artist, Emily S. Damstra, ESD. To the right of the oak branch is the sculptor, Michael Gaudioso’s, initials MG. Above the eagle’s tail feathers is where the mint mark is normally located. Around the coin’s reverse side are the words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,’’ “ONE DOLLAR,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” AND, “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” This formerly half-dollar Walking Liberty design image is now used for the one-dollar face value American Silver Eagles silver bullion coins, as well as some of the gold coin issues. Each coin weighs about one Troy oz or 31.103 grams, with .999 fine silver (three-nines fine) and .001 copper content.
