1776-2026 W Proof Silver American Eagle Liberty Bell Privy Coins

Celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary

The year 2026 marks the semiquincentennial of the United States—a once-in-a-lifetime milestone commemorating 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. To honor this historic anniversary, the United States Mint issued a special one-year Proof American Silver Eagle featuring the dual date “1776 ~ 2026” and an exclusive Liberty Bell privy mark with the numeral “250.” These design elements make the semiquincentennial Silver Eagle immediately recognizable as a defining issue in modern U.S. coinage.

Struck at the West Point Mint and produced in investment-grade 1 troy ounce .999 fine silver, these Proof coins blend patriotic symbolism with refined craftsmanship. By returning to original historical assets to more closely reflect Adolph A. Weinman’s original Walking Liberty vision, the U.S. Mint created a Silver Eagle that not only honors America’s past, but stands as a lasting tribute to its enduring ideals of freedom and resilience.
