Mintages of the 1996 and 2015 Silver Eagle Bullion Coins

The 1996 1 oz Silver Eagle Bullion is a highly sought-after coin by collectors and investors. It holds the title of the lowest mintage bullion coin with only 3,603,386 coins minted.

This makes it a rare find in the market, and its value is expected to increase over time. In contrast, the 2015 Silver Eagle had the highest mintage with an impressive 47,000,000 coins sold, marking it as the sixth annual sales record in seven years.

The 1996 and 2015 Silver Eagles serve as an example of how mintages can greatly affect a coin's value and desirability in the market. Today the Eagle is one of the most traded bullion coins in the world and is a popular choice for investors in silver.

Obverse

The iconic Lady Liberty can be seen on the obverse of the coin. It was designed by Adolph A. Weinman and first appeared on coins in 1916.

Reverse

An eagle can be seen on the reverse of the coin. It was designed by John Mercanti and has appeared on the coins since 1986.
