A perfect collectible for any desiring collector or investor, the 2016 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle is the ideal size for a gift or a collection starter! Backed by the US government, the 2016 1/4 oz American Gold Eagles have a legal tender value of $10. Not to be confused with the Pre-1933 double eagle, also a $10 gold coin, the 2016 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle exhibits the famous 100 year old design by sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The American Gold Eagles are usually minted upon the demand, which has been record breaking the last few years.

\n\n

In 1986, the production of the first American Gold Eagle was authorized by the Gold Bullion Act of 1985. The US Mint immediately started the production, unknowing of the legacy they were about to mint. In 2016, the American Gold Eagle celebrates its 30th anniversary, as the nation's official bullion coin. Sticking with the tried and true design of the last 30 years, the US Mint's quality control is heightened for this special birthday.

The Complete Set of Uncirculated Type-1 Silver Eagles from 1986 to 2021, comprising 36 coins, represents one of the most iconic and enduring series in American numismatics. The American Silver Eagle, introduced in 1986, was the United States’ first official bullion coin, designed to meet the demand for a high-quality investment-grade silver coin. Over its 36-year run, the Type-1 Silver Eagle retained its original design, making this collection a cohesive and historically significant representation of American silver coinage.

\n\n

The American Silver Eagle series began under the Liberty Coin Act of 1985, signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. This legislation authorized the production of a one-ounce silver bullion coin with a face value of one dollar, backed by the U.S. government. The coins were intended to provide a convenient way for individuals to invest in silver while celebrating American heritage. The Silver Eagle was struck in .999 fine silver, making it a reliable investment vehicle with both intrinsic and collectible value. The Type-1 design remained unchanged from its introduction in 1986 until 2021, when it was replaced by the Type-2 design, marking the end of an era for this beloved series.

\n\n

The obverse of the Type-1 Silver Eagle features Adolph A. Weinman’s classic \"Walking Liberty\" design, originally created for the half dollar in 1916. This depiction of Liberty striding confidently toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag and carrying branches of laurel and oak, symbolizes hope, strength, and prosperity. The design is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful in American coinage history. The inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the year of issue surround the figure, emphasizing the coin’s connection to national values and ideals.

\n\n

The reverse of the Type-1 Silver Eagle, designed by John Mercanti, features a heraldic eagle with a shield, clutching an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other. Above the eagle are 13 stars, representing the original colonies, arranged in a triangular formation. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” and “ONE DOLLAR” encircle the reverse, emphasizing the coin’s weight, purity, and denomination. This design reflects the strength and resilience of the nation, making it a fitting counterpart to the obverse depiction of Liberty.

\n\n

The Silver Eagles in this set were struck at the U.S. Mint’s facilities in Philadelphia, San Francisco, and West Point. While the majority of the bullion versions lack a mintmark, collector and burnished issues often include mintmarks, distinguishing their origin. The production of Silver Eagles involved advanced minting techniques to ensure the highest level of quality. The bullion coins were struck with brilliant finishes, while collector versions, such as burnished uncirculated coins, received special handling to achieve a matte-like appearance. Each coin in the set represents the U.S. Mint’s dedication to producing exceptional silver coinage.

\n\n

The mintage figures for the Type-1 Silver Eagles vary significantly over the years, reflecting fluctuations in market demand and economic conditions. The inaugural 1986 Silver Eagle had a mintage of over 5.3 million, reflecting strong initial interest in the series. During periods of economic uncertainty, such as the 2008 financial crisis, mintage numbers spiked as investors sought safe-haven assets like silver. By contrast, years with lower demand saw reduced mintages, adding scarcity to certain issues within the series. These variations in production make the complete set an engaging and historically rich collection.

\n\n

The condition of the coins in the Complete Set of Uncirculated Type-1 Silver Eagles is a critical factor in their value and appeal. Uncirculated coins are known for their pristine surfaces, sharp details, and brilliant luster, having never been subjected to circulation. Each coin in this set retains its original mint finish, free from significant wear or damage. The encapsulation of these coins in protective holders ensures their preservation, protecting them from environmental factors and handling. Collectors prize uncirculated Silver Eagles for their ability to showcase the artistry and craftsmanship of the U.S. Mint in its purest form.

\n\n

The historical context of the Type-1 Silver Eagle series adds depth to its significance. Introduced during the 1980s, a period of heightened interest in precious metals, the series quickly became a cornerstone of American bullion coinage. Over its 36-year history, the Silver Eagle witnessed significant economic and geopolitical events, from market booms to financial crises. Each coin in the set serves as a snapshot of its time, reflecting the evolving role of silver as both a monetary asset and a collectible item. The series’ longevity and consistency highlight its importance in the broader context of U.S. coinage.

\n\n

The artistry of the Type-1 Silver Eagle is a defining feature of the series. Weinman’s Walking Liberty design, originally introduced during the golden age of American coinage, evokes a sense of timeless beauty and national pride. Mercanti’s heraldic eagle complements this vision, providing a balance between tradition and modernity. Together, these designs create a cohesive and iconic aesthetic that has resonated with collectors and investors for decades. The coins in this set exemplify the enduring appeal of these classic motifs, brought to life through the precision and expertise of the U.S. Mint.

\n\n

The Complete Set of Uncirculated Type-1 Silver Eagles is a testament to the series’ success and the U.S. Mint’s ability to produce high-quality bullion coinage. For collectors, the set offers a comprehensive look at one of the most celebrated series in American numismatics, with each coin representing a chapter in its history. For investors, the set provides a tangible store of value, backed by the intrinsic worth of .999 fine silver. The combination of artistic merit, historical significance, and financial security makes the set an appealing choice for a wide range of numismatic enthusiasts.

\n\n

The Type-1 Silver Eagle series concluded in 2021 with the introduction of the Type-2 design, which featured a new reverse by Emily Damstra. This transition marked the end of an era, further elevating the significance of the 1986–2021 Type-1 Silver Eagles. The Complete Set of Uncirculated Type-1 Silver Eagles captures the entirety of this remarkable series, offering collectors a chance to own a cohesive and historically rich collection. Each coin in the set embodies the artistry, innovation, and resilience that define American coinage, ensuring its place as a cornerstone of numismatic history.

\n-Obverse: The Lady Liberty, on the obverse, stands tall and proud, yet displays a tenderness at the same time. This popular design of the Lady comes from the famous design by Adolph A. Weinman. This German-American sculptor was given the honor of designing the Walking Liberty half -dollar, which was in circulation from 1916-1947. This design became so popular that the US Mint decided to resurrect it for the American Silver Eagle. Each silver eagle contains the Lady Liberty, dressed in a lightweight robe, with the American flag discreetly draped over her shoulders. One arm is outstretched while the other is clinging onto a bundle of branches. The rising sun, behind her, is slowly coming up to offer hope with a new day. \"Liberty,\" \"In God We Trust,\" and the coin's date of mintage is included on the obverse.
\n-Reverse: The national seal of the United States of America is featured on the reverse of every American Silver Eagle. The reverse also bears the stamp that reveals the coin's purity and weight for good measure.
