The 2026 issue carries a legal tender face value of $1 and contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver.

This example has been professionally certified by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as Mint State 69 (MS69), representing a high-quality Mint State coin with only minute imperfections. It also carries the sought-after PCGS First Strike designation and is presented with the patriotic PCGS Flag Label, making it an attractive choice for collectors assembling certified American Silver Eagles by date, grade, designation, or label.

Walking Liberty and the American Bald Eagle

The obverse showcases Adolph A. Weinman's historic Walking Liberty design, originally created for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Liberty is shown confidently striding toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag and carrying branches of laurel and oak. The inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the date “2026” complete this enduring representation of American freedom.

The reverse features the modern American bald eagle design by Emily Damstra, introduced to the Silver Eagle series in 2021 and sculpted by U.S. Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso. The eagle is captured descending with an oak branch in its talons, while inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
