2005 Silver American Eagle - 1 Troy Ounce, .999 Pure

The 2005 American Silver Eagle: A Coveted Addition for Enthusiasts and Investors Alike

The 2005 American Silver Eagle marks a significant entry in the prestigious series launched by the United States Mint in 1986, receiving high praise from both collectors and investors. This year's release continues to uphold and advance the exceptional quality and standards established by its predecessors.

Esteemed for its 99.9% silver purity, impeccable craftsmanship, and the Mint's commitment to excellence, each 1 troy oz. American silver Eagle bullion coin is eagerly sought after by those who appreciate the value of silver.

Though these silver coins carry a nominal face value of one dollar, the real market value of these coins far surpasses that figure, making them a more attractive option than ordinary silver bullion coins or rounds.

Coin Details:

• Content: The 2005 American Silver Eagle is crafted from .999 fine silver, achieving a 99.9% purity level that attracts both numismatists and precious metal investors. This silver coin is also IRA-eligible, providing a splendid opportunity to enhance retirement savings.

• Weight: Adhering to the series' standards, the coin weighs 31.103 grams, or 1 troy ounce.

• Diameter: Its diameter spans 40.6 mm, offering a generous surface for its iconic imagery.

• Thickness: With a thickness of 2.98 mm, the coin boasts durability and a substantial feel.

• Edge: The reeded edge adds a traditional visual and tactile appeal to the coin.

• Iconic Imagery: The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's renowned "Walking Liberty" design, a symbol of liberty and progress. The reverse, created by John Mercanti, depicts a grand eagle under 13 stars, representing the original colonies.

• Mintage: The 2005 American Silver Eagles are highly valued within the series for their limited availability and appeal to collectors, minted exclusively at the West Point Mint with a mint mark W. In 2005, the U.S. Mint produced 8,891,025 American Silver Eagles.

• Mint Location: Perfectly produced at the West Point Mint with a W mint mark. This is unique since the West Point Mint had historically produced the Proof American Silver Eagle until 2001. 

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

The collectible uncirculated Silver Eagle series remains a focal point for both collectors and investors, thanks to its breathtaking design and numismatic worth. Securely housed in protective packaging, the coin's significant silver content and precision minting are preserved impeccably. Though not graded, these encapsulated coins are valued as rare collectibles and investments, regardless of the year of issue.

The series also includes Proof American Silver Eagles, as well as American Gold Eagles and American Platinum Eagles.

Design and Inspiration:

• Obverse Design: Adolph A. Weinman's design for the 2005 American Silver Eagle carries the dynamic "Walking Liberty" from the half-dollar coin, depicting Liberty draped in the flag, moving towards a bright future while holding symbols of honor and resilience. The design includes a sun emitting 13 rays, symbolizing the unity of the original colonies. On the top of the obverse side is the word LIBERTY, and to the right is the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST.”

• Reverse Design: John Mercanti's design on the reverse showcases a heraldic eagle, protected by a shield of liberty and clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons, signifying peace and readiness, beneath 13 stars for the founding states. The words "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are on a banner in the American Eagle’s beak, and the phrases “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “1 OZ. FINE SILVER ~ ONE DOLLAR” encircle the design.

The 2005 edition of the American Silver Eagle reflects the U.S. Mint's dedication to superior craftsmanship, capturing an essential aspect of America's numismatic heritage. Its intricate design and significant silver content make it a must-have for collectors and investors.

These US Mint 2005 American Silver Eagles, offered as standard, non-graded coins, have a market value that significantly exceeds that of typical silver bullion coins.
