2018 American Silver Eagles (1986-Present)

Intriguing History

By 2018, the country was climbing out of the Great Recession that began in 2008, marking Lincoln's bicentennial with redesigned cents in 2009 and running the multi-year America the Beautiful quarters program, even as a modern boom in coin and bullion collecting took hold. This American Silver Eagle, struck from the government's silver stockpile since the bullion program launched in 1986, dates from exactly this period.
