Obverse

On the obverse of the 1988-S Proof American Silver Eagles is the iconic Walking Liberty design, conceived in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman. This breathtaking depiction of Liberty in left-profile relief symbolizes her journey towards the sun on the horizon, draped in the American flag.

Reverse

Flipping to the reverse side, the 1988-S 1 oz Proof Silver Eagle Coin displays an image of the heraldic eagle. Revitalized for this collection in 1986 by John Mercanti, the design features the bald eagle in front-facing relief with the US national shield, the arrows of war, and the olive branch of peace.

History

In numismatic series, the earliest dates often hold the greatest allure for collectors. The debut of the Proof Silver Eagle in 1986 remains the highest-minted coin in the program’s history. Hence, it’s unsurprising that the 1988 release experienced a decline in demand, nearly 1 million coins less than 1986.
