Obverse

Adorning the obverse of the 2002-W Proof Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins is the renowned design of Walking Liberty. Created by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916, this depiction showcases Liberty in full-length relief, elegantly striding towards the sun on the horizon. Notably, the design incorporates the American flag, draped gracefully around Liberty’s figure. The inscriptions read LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and 2002.

Reverse

In the reverse design of 2002-W Proof American Eagle Silver Coins, the US Mint features John Mercantis modern take on the heraldic eagle. This image shows the bald eagle with the US national shield. The inscriptions here include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, 1 OZ. FINE SILVER, ONE DOLLAR, and the W mint mark.

History

The 2002 Proof American Eagle was sandwiched between two periods of increased demand. The 2001 coin sold nearly 100,000 more units as a result of the 15^th anniversary of the series. The subsequent issues in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 all saw year-over-year growth.
