- Designated First Day of Issue, marking it as one of the first coins released directly from the Mint.
- Obverse: Showcases Weinman’s iconic Walking Liberty, depicting Lady Liberty draped in the American flag as she strides toward the sunrise.
- Reverse: Features Emily Damstra’s 2021 redesign—an eagle descending with an oak branch in its talons, symbolizing American strength and continuity.
American Silver Eagle Design
Weinman's Walking Liberty design first appeared on U.S. half dollars from 1916 to 1947 and was revived in 1986 to evoke timeless elegance and patriotism. The reverse by Emily Damstra, introduced in 2021, replaced the previous heraldic motif with a modern depiction of an eagle descending with an oak branch—adding contemporary strength to the series.
American Silver Eagle Series
First issued in 1986 under the Liberty Coin Act, the American Silver Eagle has firmly established itself as the official silver bullion coin of the United States. Its consistent purity, enduring design, and government guarantee make it a foundational coin for both investors and collectors.
United States Mint
Crafted under stringent quality controls by the United States Mint, this coin is guaranteed for weight, metal content, and overall craftsmanship. The federal guarantee enhances buyer confidence and long-term market credibility.

I placed a pre-order in the late fall/early winter for 2 of these 2026 MS70 First Strike Eagles and they came exactly as advertised. The label in the plastic tamper proof packaging isn’t very attractive but that’s not very important. The packaging for mailing was great as was the tracking. I’m very pleased with this purchase and only regret not ordering more! I’ve bought many times from APMEX and it’s always been hassle free. I will definitely order from them again.
