This particular numismatic item represents a specific year’s production of a widely collected bullion and commemorative coin. Struck by the United States Mint, it contains one troy ounce of .999 fine silver and features the iconic Walking Liberty design on the obverse, originally created by Adolph A. Weinman. Its reverse displays an eagle and shield design. It serves both as a tangible store of value and a collectible item for numismatists.
The significance of owning one stems from several factors. As a silver bullion coin, it inherently possesses intrinsic value tied to the fluctuating price of silver. Moreover, its collectibility adds another layer of potential value, as condition, mintage numbers, and market demand can influence its price beyond the melt value of its silver content. Historically, these coins reflect the enduring legacy of American coinage design and the nation’s commitment to producing high-quality bullion products.
