Inside the certified 2006 American Eagle 20th Anniversary 1 oz Silver 3-Coin Set, each coin is individually slabbed and graded Mint State or Proof 69 by PCGS. At this near-perfect level, coins maintain their brilliant luster with only minimal marks or lines, none of which affect the major details. The set includes a Proof Silver Eagle, a Reverse Proof Silver Eagle, and a Burnished Silver Eagle.

Obverse

The obverse of each 2006 American Eagle Coin continues Weinmans Walking Liberty design. Originally placed on the half dollar in 1916, the image remained a cornerstone of American coinage through 1947. The inscriptions include LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and 2006.

Reverse

The reverse of each 2006 Eagle 1 oz Silver Coin showcases John Mercantis Heraldic Eagle. Drawing on motifs from early U.S. coinage, this version became the signature reverse of the Silver Eagle until its redesign in 2021. The inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, 1 OZ FINE SILVER, ONE DOLLAR, and the individual mint marks.

History

The Walking Liberty, designed by Adolph A. Weinman, blends inspiration from classical Roman and Greek art with American ideals. Liberty is shown in stride with flowing robes, carrying branches of laurel and oak to reflect honor and strength.
