2011 American Eagle One-Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin

[WASHINGTON] – The United States Mint will offer 2011 American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coins beginning at noon Eastern Time (ET) on September 15, 2011. The one-ounce .999 silver coin is currently priced at $60.45. As with all products sold by the United States Mint containing precious metals, pricing is subject to change.

Struck on specially burnished blanks, American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coins feature a finish similar to their bullion counterparts but carry the "W" mint mark, indicating production at the United States Mint at West Point. Each coin is encapsulated in protective plastic and placed in a blue presentation case accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

The obverse (heads side) design of the American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin features an image of Lady Liberty in full stride enveloped in the folds of the American flag with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left. The reverse (tails side) design of the coin depicts a heraldic eagle with shield, an olive branch in the right talon and arrows in the left.
