The 1999 Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins were produced by the Philadelphia Mint and bear a P mint mark on the reverse field denoting the mint of origin. This was the second-to-last year in which the Proof American Eagle Silver Coins were produced in Philadelphia. Transferred to Philadelphia from the San Francisco Mint in 1993, the coins would again be transferred starting in 2001 to the West Point Mint.

Obverse

On the obverse of all Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins, Walking Liberty graces the design field as she pursues the warmth and brightness of a new day. Designed in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman, this full portrait of Liberty in left-profile relief shows her with her right hand outstretched, her left hand carrying the branches of oak and laurel, and the American flag draped over her shoulders.

Reverse

The reverse side of the 1999 Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coin features the historic heraldic eagle of the United States. This is the single longest-used design in American coin history. Designed by Robert Scot in 1792, it appeared on the very first American coins ever produced by the new sovereign nation.

History
