1999 Silver American Eagle - 1 Troy Ounce, .999 Pure

The 1999 American Silver Eagle: A Prized Asset for Collectors and Investors

The 1999 American Silver Eagle introduces a noteworthy chapter to the distinguished series inaugurated by the United States Mint in 1986. Garnering applause from both collectors and investors, the 1999 installment builds upon and enhances the exemplary standards set by its forerunners.

Renowned for its .999 fine silver purity, superior craftsmanship, and the Mint's dedication to excellence, each American Eagle silver bullion coin is ardently pursued by silver collectors.

Despite its nominal face value of one dollar as legal U.S. currency, the actual market value of these silver coins significantly eclipses this legal tender coinage amount, positioning them as a more enticing selection over standard silver bullion coins or rounds.

Coin Highlights:

• Content: Crafted from .999 fine silver, the 1999 American Silver Eagle achieves a purity level of 99.9%, attracting both numismatists and investors in precious metals. This coin is also eligible for Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), offering an excellent opportunity for augmenting retirement portfolios.

• Weight: True to the series' specifications, the coin has a weight of 31.103 grams, or 1 troy ounce.

• Diameter: The coin's diameter measures 40.6 mm, affording a broad canvas for its iconic design.

• Thickness: At a thickness of 2.98 mm, the coin presents a robust feel and enduring quality.

• Edge: Featuring a reeded edge, this characteristic enhances the coin's traditional aesthetic and tactile appeal.

• Iconic Design: The obverse is adorned with Adolph A. Weinman's celebrated "Walking Liberty" design, emblematic of liberty and progress. The reverse, conceived by John Mercanti, displays a majestic eagle beneath 13 stars, symbolizing the original thirteen colonies.

• Mintage: The 1999 American Silver Eagles are particularly esteemed within the series due to their limited availability and attractiveness to collectors, with a mintage of 7,408,640 coins at the Philadelphia Mint.

• Mint Location: Flawlessly minted at the Philadelphia Mint, these coins customarily do not feature a mint mark, adhering to the tradition for bullion Silver Eagles until 2021.

• Certificate of Authenticity: Silver bullion American Silver Eagles do not typically come with a COA.

The collectible uncirculated Silver Eagle series continues to captivate the attention of both collectors and investors with its stunning design and coin-collecting numismatic value. Encased in protective packaging, the coin's considerable silver content and precision minting are meticulously preserved. Although grading services are not offered, these slabbed coins are esteemed as invaluable collectibles and investments, irrespective of the issuance year.

The assortment further includes Proof American Silver Eagles, American Gold Eagles, and American Platinum Eagles.

Design and Inspiration:

Adolph A. Weinman's obverse design for the 1999 American Silver Eagle features the dynamic "Walking Liberty" half-dollar design, with Lady Liberty gracefully enrobed in the flag, advancing towards a hopeful future while bearing symbols of honor and fortitude. This figure advances towards a sun radiating 13 rays, denoting the unity of the original colonies.

John Mercanti's reverse design portrays a noble heraldic eagle, safeguarded by a liberty shield and holding an olive branch and arrows, indicators of peace and preparedness, under 13 stars representing the founding states. The eagle prominently showcases the motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM," highlighting the nation's principle of unity through diversity. The phrases “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “1 OZ. FINE SILVER ~ ONE DOLLAR” encircle the motif.

The 1999 iteration of the American Silver Eagle demonstrates the U.S. Mint's unwavering commitment to unmatched craftsmanship, capturing a vital facet of American numismatic legacy. Its intricate design and considerable silver content render it an indispensable acquisition for collectors and investors.

The 1oz silver american eagle, available as standard, non-graded coins, see their marketplace value substantially exceed that of regular silver bullion coins.
