2022 1 oz American Silver Eagle Coin BU

In the world of physical bullion, the American Silver Eagle sets the standard for investment-grade silver coins and is a beloved staple for countless retail and institutional investors. Since 1986, the US Mint has issued over 500 million American Silver Eagles in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition alone, with millions more in the Proof and Burnished finishes.

The US Mint holds itself to the highest standards of production and the US Government federally guarantees the weight and purity of each American Silver Eagle. Public faith in the popular American Silver Eagle accounts for its near-universal acceptance, with investor demand effortlessly consuming the 30 to 40 million annual mintages of the past decade.

2022 will mark the first full year of production for the historic redesign launched in midyear 2021. The 2022 American Silver Eagle’s obverse presents a refreshed version of the historic Walking Liberty Half Dollar design, now more accurate to the original Adolph A. Weinman design minted from 1916 to 1947. Weinman’s initials are stamped directly below the motto IN GOD WE TRUST.

The original reverse, John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle design, has been replaced by a new Emily Damstra design that features a descending American Bald Eagle grasping an oak branch in its talons. Inscribed around the reverse’s perimeter is the coin’s one troy ounce metal weight, the term “FINE SILVER,” indicating the 99.9% pure silver content, and the term “ONE DOLLAR,” denoting it as US legal tender.

Another distinguishing feature of the 2022 American Silver Eagle is an innovative security element designed to combat counterfeiting. You’ll notice the coin is intentionally missing a reed on the coin’s edge just below the sunrise on the obverse side. This security feature was placed below the year of issue for the 2021 1 oz American Silver Eagle (Type 2) design, so we can only speculate where the security feature will land in future releases.

American Silver Eagles are generally struck at the West Point Mint; however, the San Francisco Mint and the Philadelphia Mint occasionally supplement production. No mintage caps exist, and annual mintage numbers are demand-driven.

The 2022 1 oz American Silver Eagle Coin BU can be ordered as single 1 oz coins or in mint tubes of 20 coins.
