Description
The Red, White, & Blue American Eagle makes a perfect gift for the patriot in your family. Each coin is an official
Silver American Eagle bullion coin brought to life with radiant color. Now the American flag worn by Miss Liberty is red, white and blue. The sun is a warm yellow and the laurel branch in Liberty's arm is a verdant green.
Design
Each Red, White, & Blue American Eagle is an actual Silver American Eagle, so the design and specifications are the same. The image of "Walking Liberty', located on the obverse first debuted in 1916 on the
Walking Liberty Half-Dollar. Miss Liberty, the ground beneath her, and the sun burst with color on the Red, White, & Blue American Eagle.
The reverse, designed by John Mercanti, depicts a heraldic eagle with shield carrying an olive branch and arrows in its talons. An inverse pyramid of thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies floats above its head. The words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ' 1 OZ. FINE SILVER ~ ONE DOLLAR '" encircle the eagle.
Minting Information
Red, White, & Blue American Eagles are made from 99.9% pure silver bullion. Artisans at the Perth Mint in Australia have colorized each Eagle and given it a unique serial number. Each coin is enclosed in a protective plastic holder, and comes in a display case complete with a history of the coin, its exact specifications, and a certificate of authenticity.
