A numismatic item produced by the United States Mint in 1998, this particular piece is composed of one troy ounce of .999 fine silver. It bears the iconic Walking Liberty design on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. Its face value is one dollar and it represents a tangible form of silver bullion investment and collectibility.
This specific year’s issue holds interest for collectors due to mintage figures and potential variations. Demand can fluctuate based on factors such as silver market performance, the condition of the coin, and its certified grade. Owning such an item provides a hedge against economic uncertainty and diversifies an investment portfolio, while simultaneously representing a piece of American history and artistry.
