2001 Silver American Eagle - 1 Troy Ounce, .999 Pure

The 2001 American Silver Eagle: A Premier Choice for Collectors and Investors

The 2001 American Silver Eagle stands as a notable issue in the esteemed collection initiated by the United States Mint in 1986, garnering acclaim from both numismatists and investors. This edition perpetuates the high quality and standards that have become synonymous with its lineage.

Renowned for its 99.9% silver content, flawless craftsmanship, and the Mint's dedication to superiority, all American silver eagle coins are highly sought after by those who value the essence of silver.

Despite its nominal face value of one dollar, the actual market value considerably exceeds this, positioning it as a preferable selection over standard silver bullion coins or rounds.

Coin Highlights:

• Content: Crafted from .999 fine silver, the 2001 American Silver Eagle boasts a purity level of 99.9%, appealing to both coin collectors and silver investors. Additionally, this silver coin qualifies for IRA investments, offering an excellent opportunity to augment retirement portfolios.

• Weight: True to the series' specifications, the coin weighs 31.103 grams, equivalent to 1 troy ounce.

• Diameter: It measures 40.6 mm in diameter, providing ample space for its distinguished designs.

• Thickness: The coin's thickness is 2.98 mm, ensuring durability and a solid feel.

• Edge: Its reeded edge contributes to the coin's traditional aesthetic and tactile experience.

• Iconic Imagery: The obverse showcases the celebrated "Walking Liberty" design by Adolph A. Weinman, symbolizing freedom and progress. The reverse, designed by John Mercanti, features a majestic eagle beneath 13 stars, symbolizing the original states.

• Mintage: The 2001 American Silver Eagles are prized within the series for their limited availability, with production taking place exclusively at the West Point Mint, marked with a 'W'. In 2001, the production totaled 9,001,711 American Silver Eagles.

• Mint Location: Exclusively minted at the West Point Mint, distinguished by the 'W' mint mark, a characteristic not shared by all years, as most American Silver Eagles are typically minted at the Philadelphia Mint.

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

The uncirculated collectible Silver Eagle series continues to be a central point of interest for both collectors and investors due to its stunning design and numismatic value. Encased in protective packaging, the significant silver content and meticulous minting of the coin are preserved flawlessly. While not graded, these encapsulated coins are regarded as valuable collectibles and investments, irrespective of their issue year.

The series also encompasses Proof American Silver Eagles, along with American Gold Eagles and American Platinum Eagles.

Design and Inspiration:

• Obverse Design: The "Walking Liberty" design by Adolph A. Weinman for the 2001 American Silver Eagle features Lady Liberty cloaked in the American flag, advancing towards a hopeful future while bearing symbols of honor and strength. The design also includes a sun with 13 rays, representing the unity of the original states. The word LIBERTY is inscribed at the top of the obverse, with the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” to the right.

• Reverse Design: The reverse, created by John Mercanti, portrays a heraldic eagle behind a shield, holding an olive branch and arrows in his talons, symbolizing peace and preparedness, under 13 stars for the founding states. The phrase "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is on a banner held in the American eagle’s beak, and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” along with “1 OZ. FINE SILVER ~ ONE DOLLAR” encircle the design.

The 2001 edition of the American Silver Eagle exemplifies the U.S. Mint's commitment to outstanding craftsmanship, embodying a key piece of America's coinage history. With its intricate design and substantial silver content, it is an essential acquisition for both collectors and investors.
