2026 American Silver Eagles (1986-Present)

Intriguing History

In 2026, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted daily life worldwide, even triggering a widely reported U.S. coin circulation shortage in 2020 as pocket change stopped moving through shuttered businesses, while the Mint kept striking new commemorative and bullion designs through the recovery years that followed. This American Silver Eagle, struck from the government's silver stockpile since the bullion program launched in 1986, dates from exactly this period.
