Own a 2013 Silver Eagle Dollar Coin Featuring Popular Image from the Past

Now you can own this Silver Eagle Dollar containing one troy ounce (about 1.09714 ounces) of 99.9% pure silver. It features Walking Liberty, an image first used on the half dollar coin and a popular favorite among collectors and consumers.

The Silver Eagle dollar was first released in November 1986. It was authorized by Congress the previous year as a way to reduce the National Defense Stockpile of silver. By 2002, the stockpile was almost depleted, so new legislation was passed to allow silver to be purchased on the open market so the program could continue. The silver dollars are produced at the Philadelphia, San Francisco, and West Point Mints.

The image of Walking Liberty was designed by Adolph Weinman for use on the half dollar, which was issued from 1916 to 1947. Weinman’s design features an image of the goddess Liberty, with the American flag waving in the breeze behind her. She is striving toward the rising sun with branches of laurel and oak on her arm. These are symbols of civil and military glory. The sun has 13 rays, representing the original 13 colonies of the US.
