The 2025 S $1 Proof American Silver Eagle is the final San Francisco issue in the series, marking the end of an era. According to the U.S. Mint, "There are currently no further releases scheduled for this product beyond 2025 as we create new numismatic products to enhance your collection." With a low mintage of 158,008, this key-date issue serves as a fitting bookend to the San Francisco-minted Proof Silver Eagles and a perfect addition to your collection.
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 2025, along with Weinman's initials AW.
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."
Each coin comes slabbed by NGC with the exclusive U.S. Mint Engraver Series Dual Signature label, hand-signed by Michael Gaudioso, the engraver of the Type 2 Silver Eagle reverse. Each coin is graded by NGC as a perfect PF70 Ultra Cameo, with the Early Releases designation.
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.
