The American Eagle Silver Coin was already a massively popular silver bullion series by the time it had been in production for two decades. However, the increase in demand it would see from 2008 to 2015 was unlike any other rush to silver the world had seen in recent history. The jump in demand started in 2008 when the coin series posted a one-year gain in mintage that remains a record to this day.

Obverse

Inscriptions include Liberty, In God We Trust, and 2008.

Reverse

The reverse face of the 2008 American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coin comes with a depiction of the heraldic eagle of the United States. The heraldic eagle is the official seal of the federal government and features a depiction of the American bald eagle in front-facing relief with the US national shield on its chest. The birds head is facing toward the talon with the olive branch of peace, while the other talon guards the nation with the arrows of war. Above its head, there is a triangular cluster of 13 stars.

History

The onset of the Great Recession and an economic recession wiped out wealth in the stock market. The result was a drastic increase in the demand for silver bullion. The 2008 American Eagle Silver Coin experienced a jump of nearly 11.4 million coins from 2007 to 2008, the largest single-year jump in the programs history. The final sales figure for 2008 was 20,583,000.
