2022 TO 2026 AMERICAN EAGLE ONE OUNCE 99.9% SILVER PROOF COIN (W)

▶ Washington– The United States Mint (Mint) will accept orders for the 2026 American Eagle One Ounce Silver Proof Coin (W) beginning on January 16, 2026, at noon EST. 

▶ Produced at the United States Mint at West Point since 1986, American Eagle Silver Proof Coins are collector versions of the official United States Mint American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins. These popular silver collectibles were updated in 2021 with a refreshed obverse (heads) and a completely redesigned reverse (tails) to mark the 35th anniversary of the American Eagle Coin Program.

▶ Like its bullion counterpart, the obverse of the American Eagle Silver Proof Coin features sculptor Adolph A. Weinman’s full-length figure of Liberty in full stride, enveloped in folds of the flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left. Using technological advancements in the design and minting process, the coin encompasses some of Weinman’s original details, which renders a closer reflection of his original vision, including the addition of his traditional artist mark. Inscriptions are “Liberty,” “2026,” and “In God We Trust.”

▶ The reverse depicts an eagle as it prepares to land, carrying an oak branch, as if to add it to a nest. Inscriptions are “United States of America,” “E Pluribus Unum,” “1 OZ. Fine Silver,” and “One Dollar.” United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Designer Emily Damstra created the design that retired United States Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso sculpted.

▶ The coins’ added security features include a reeded edge variation.
