American Eagle Silver Coin Appraisal

1993 American Silver Eagle Coin

The item depicted is a 1993 American Silver Eagle one-dollar coin. It is a circular, metallic coin with a silvery-white luster, indicative of its silver composition. The obverse side, which is visible, features the iconic 'Walking Liberty' design by Adolph A. Weinman. Lady Liberty is shown striding towards the viewer's left, enveloped in the American flag, with her right arm extended and her left hand holding branches of oak and laurel. Behind her, a radiant sun rises, emitting visible rays. The year '1993' is clearly visible at the bottom center of the coin. The inscription 'LIBERTY' is partially visible across the top arc, while 'IN GOD WE TRUST' appears to the right of Liberty's legs. The coin exhibits a slightly worn appearance consistent with circulation or handling, with some minor surface abrasions and a subtle patina starting to develop, particularly in the recessed areas of the design. The details of Liberty's dress and the sun rays are still relatively sharp, suggesting a good strike, though not uncirculated condition. The rim appears intact and shows no obvious signs of damage or bending. The craftsmanship is typical of U.S. Mint coinage, featuring high relief on the design elements against a somewhat matte field. This specific year, 1993, is clearly visible, dating the coin precisely. It is a standard bullion coin, produced by the United States Mint.
