The United States Mint 2023 American Silver Eagle One Ounce Uncirculated Coin, produced at the Mint’s West Point facility, will be released on May 25 at noon EDT, with orders limited to 10 coins per household for the first 24-hour sales period.
The American Silver Eagle Uncirculated Coin is the collector version of the official United States Mint American Silver Eagle Bullion Coin. Produced since 1986, this coin was updated in 2021 with a refreshed obverse and a completely redesigned reverse to mark the 35th anniversary of the American Eagle Coin Program.
Like its bullion counterpart, the obverse of the American Silver Eagle Uncirculated Coin features sculptor Adolph A. Weinman’s full-length figure of Liberty in full stride, enveloped in folds of the flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left. Using technological advancements, the coin has been redesigned to encompass some of Weinman’s original details, which renders a closer reflection of his original vision, including the addition of his traditional artist mark. Inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2023.”
The reverse was created by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Designer Emily Damstra and sculpted by United States Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso. The design depicts an eagle as it approaches a landing, carrying an oak branch, as if to add it to a nest. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
To provide an added level of security, the redesigned American Eagle Silver Coin also includes a reed pattern variation. The Mint benchmarked its efforts against anti-counterfeiting programs implemented by major mints around the world.
The 2023 American Silver Eagle One Ounce Uncirculated Coin (W) is priced at $76 USD.
