The obverse of this American Silver Eagle copies the Walking Liberty Half Dollar, designed by Adolph Weinman. His design was struck as circulating half dollars from 1916 until 1947.
The coins have a very popular rendition of the Walking Liberty motif on the obverse of this coin. Miss Liberty is garbed in flowing robes and has an American flag about her shoulders. The word “LIBERTY,” is above her while “IN GOD WE TRUST” is in the right field. The current year of striking is below Miss Liberty.
John Mercanti, the Chief Engraver of the US Mint, designed the reverse of the coin. Mercanti created an updated version of a Heraldic Eagle image. The eagle has upraised wings and a shield covering its body. Arrows in one talon and olive branches in the other for balance. Above this eagle are 13 stars arranged neatly arranged with “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” on the upper periphery and “1 OZ. FINE SILVER - ONE DOLLAR,” on the lower periphery.
This coin is graded as “Proof 69, Ultra Cameo.” The Proof mintage is 707,518 while the BU coins also struck at West Point has a mintage of over 47 million. So, the Proof coin is much scarcer than the Uncirculated. Proof 69 means the coin is 1 point away from perfection, while ‘Ultra Cameo’ means tremendous contrast between the fields and the devices.
