2026 marks a significant milestone for America's hallmark silver coin. Not only does the American Silver Eagle celebrate its 40th anniversary, but the 2026 W Proof Silver Eagle receives a special dual-date design in honor of the United States' 250th anniversary.
The 1776-2026 W $1 Proof American Silver Eagle also features a Liberty Bell 250 Privy Mark to commemorate the nation's semiquincentennial. With a limited mintage of 500,000, this issue marks the first time an American Silver Eagle has ever been struck with a dual date.
Coin Design
- Obverse — The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's iconic Walking Liberty, symbolizing freedom and progress. Lady Liberty strides toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag and holding branches of laurel and oak, with her right hand extended. Thanks to advanced minting technology introduced in 2021, more of Weinman's original details are now visible. Inscriptions include LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and 1776-2026, along with Weinman's initials AW.
- Reverse — The reverse, designed by AIP Designer Emily Damstra and sculpted by U.S. Mint Engraver Michael Gaudioso, depicts a majestic bald eagle preparing to land, clutching an oak branch symbolizing strength, endurance, and freedom. Surrounding inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1 OZ FINE SILVER, ONE DOLLAR, and the Latin phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM, meaning "Out of many, one."

American Silver Eagle Series
Introduced in 1986 under the Liberty Coin Act, the American Silver Eagle is the official silver bullion coin of the United States and the most collected silver coin in the world. Originally designed by John Mercanti and featuring Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty, the series symbolizes American craftsmanship and liberty. In 2021, the series underwent its first major redesign, featuring an enhanced obverse and a new reverse designed by Emily Damstra and sculpted by Michael Gaudioso. This redesign also added advanced security features, ensuring the coin's lasting appeal and integrity for collectors worldwide.
