1996 American Silver Eagle MS-69 NGC
The 1996 American Silver Eagle represents a significant milestone in the United States Mint's annual bullion initiative. Serving as the eleventh entry in a series that ran from 1986 to 2021, this particular issue has earned a reputation as a key date for enthusiasts tracking the program's history. Struck from one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver, the coin combines substantial precious metal content with celebrated American artistry. On the obverse, the design features a graceful depiction of Lady Liberty, originally created by Adolph A. Weinman. This side bears the classic inscription of trust and the 1996 year of issue. The reverse, crafted by John Mercanti, displays a powerful heraldic eagle that draws inspiration from the Great Seal of the United States. This eagle holds an olive branch and arrows, sits behind a central shield, and is crowned by thirteen stars representing the original colonies. Legible inscriptions on this side include the nation of origin, the face value of one dollar, and the purity of the silver.
