If you've ever viewed the unforgettable half dollar coins produced from the 1916 through to 1947, you will certainly be familiar with this magnificent version of Liberty. This is important in that these coins have helped the design depicted on the silver eagles to become such an legendary figure. The pattern on the coin's reverse was sculpted by John Mercanti, which features a heraldic eagle with its wings unfurled.

At the moment, American Silver Eagles are enjoying a great rush in popularity, due to the uncertain economic climate. As precious metals have a propensity to make a excellent hedge against diminishing dollar values, investors are seeking the shelter that can be offered by precious metals including official silver bullion products from the U.S. Mint.
