The 1996 $1 American Silver Eagle, certified by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), is a standout piece within the Silver Eagle series, notable for its relatively low mintage of 3,603,386. This particular year is highly sought after by collectors due to its scarcity. Each coin is composed of one ounce of .999 fine silver and features the revered Walking Liberty design by Adolph A. Weinman on the obverse, representing freedom and the American spirit. The reverse design, by John Mercanti, showcases a heraldic eagle, symbolizing the nation's strength. The PCGS certification attests to the coin's authenticity and mint state, making it a prized asset for both its collectible appeal and precious metal content.
