The story behind 1986 Silver Eagle – Impaired
The American Silver Eagle began in 1986, pairing physical silver with Adolph A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty design from the 1916 half dollar. It gives a modern bullion coin a direct artistic connection to earlier American circulating coinage. This date belongs to the original reverse-design era, with a heraldic eagle.
