Since the American Silver Eagle series was first minted in 1986, the popular coin series celebrates its 20 year anniversary in 2006! This coin has not only grabbed the attention of avid coin collectors but it also changed the silver bullion industry. The American Silver Eagle contains one troy ounce of pure .999 silver, thus also attracting bullion investors to this remarkable coin. Although the US Mint produced 5,393,005 coins in 1986, the Silver Eagle still comes with a high premium whether you are looking to buy or sell. Because of this fact, the American Silver Eagles remain the most popular minted bullion coin in the US. When you order an American Silver Eagle, you are guaranteed by the US Mint to receive a pure silver bullion coin to grow your coin collection.
Your Certified 2006-W 20th Anniversary American Eagle Silver Uncirculated MS69 was minted at the infamous West Point Mint and carries the "W" mint-mark.

-Obverse: The obverse design was inspired by Adolph A. Weinman's famous design on the Walking Liberty half dollar from 1916-1947. The Walking Liberty design was chosen, due to its popularity by being the most popular image on a US coin in coinage history. This iconic image graces the obverse of every American Silver Eagle; Lady Liberty is delicately draped in a loose fitting dress as she holds dearly some branches in her arm and the US flag over her shoulders. "Liberty," "In God We Trust," and the date of mintage are stamped on the obverse as well.
-Reverse: The reverse reveals the US Seal: a large eagle with outstretched wings, talons holding branches and arrows, and a shield to protect its chest.
