1988 1 oz American Silver Eagle BU
The 1988 American Silver Eagle stands as an early representative of one of the world's most recognized bullion programs. Authorized under the Liberty Coin Act, which was signed into law on July 9, 1985, this series made its public debut on November 24, 1986. Each coin contains one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver, with its weight and purity fully backed by the United States Mint. The 1988 release saw a total mintage of 5,004,646 pieces, making it a prominent issue from the early years of the series. The obverse displays Adolph A. Weinman's classic depiction of Lady Liberty, a graceful figure in stride. On the reverse, a powerful heraldic eagle is positioned beneath a cluster of 13 stars, representing the original colonies. The inscriptions on the coin emphasize its origin and metal content, featuring phrases like UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and 1 OZ. FINE SILVER ONE DOLLAR.
