Product Details

Explore the timeless allure of American artistry and investment with this iconic coin, struck by the United States Mint over a quarter-century ago. This silver piece, though gently affected over time, brings historical value and remains a favorite among both collectors and investors. Born in a year when the world looked towards a new millennium, this coin is part of a series celebrated for its consistency in design and precious metal content.

  • Authentic U.S. Mint craftsmanship
  • Rich historical and aesthetic appeal
  • Substantial silver content with .999 purity

An essential element of the design is the elegant "Walking Liberty" by Adolph A. Weinman, first featured on half dollars in 1916. The imagery symbolizes the nation’s drive towards peace and prosperity. On the reverse, John Mercanti's heraldic eagle grips an olive branch and arrows, underscoring the nation's strength and hope for peace. Though this particular coin bears some marks of time, the authenticity and detailed artistry remain visible, offering a tangible connection to the past.

Famed for its purity and reliability, the selectively incorporated silver maintains its significance as a store of wealth. Crafted with .999 fine silver, each piece embodies both an aesthetic wonder and a dependable investment. While the coin might show signs of life, the artistic detailing crafted into each strike ensures enduring appeal. For collectors, it offers a chance to own a piece with a story that aligns beautifully with its visual narrative.

This particular piece, though not pristine, finds its place within a broader historical continuum. Beyond its immediate appeal, silver continues to hold a notable position in markets as a hedge against inflation and a diversified asset, making it particularly appealing for investors seeking long-term value. As part of a respected series celebrated for its design and purity, this coin fits snugly into investment portfolios or alongside other collectibles.

Relax knowing that each coin arrives in carefully considered packaging, preserving its condition as it moves from us to you—a small, yet vital element to enhancing its stay in your collection.
