In 2006, the United States Mint celebrated the 20th anniversary of the American Eagle program. First launched in 1986, the American Silver Eagle and American Gold Eagle became the nation’s official bullion coins.

Each coin in the certified 2006-W American Silver Eagle 20th Anniversary 3-Coin Set is sealed in a protective slab and graded Mint State or Proof 69 by PCGS. At this level, coins show full mint luster with only faint hairlines or contact marks that do not affect the main design.

Adolph A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty draws on classical Roman and Greek influences while reflecting American ideas of liberty. He portrayed Liberty in motion with flowing drapery, carrying laurel and oak branches to symbolize civic and military achievement.

The obverse of each 2006 American Silver Eagle features Weinman’s timeless Walking Liberty. First used on the half dollar in 1916, this artwork became one of the most recognized images in U.S. coinage and appeared on the half dollar through 1947.

The reverse of each 2006 1 oz Silver Eagle Coin presents John Mercanti’s Heraldic Eagle. Inspired by early U.S. coin motifs from the late 18th century, this modern interpretation served as the long-standing Silver Eagle reverse design until 2021.
