1990 American Silver Eagle One Ounce Coin

This is a 1990 American Silver Eagle, the official bullion coin of the United States. Struck from one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, the coin has a diameter of 40.6 mm. The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's iconic Floating Liberty design, showing Lady Liberty draped in the American flag, walking toward a rising sun while carrying branches of laurel and oak. The text includes 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and the date '1990'. The coin exhibits significant natural toning and patina, ranging from deep charcoal and dark amber hues around the periphery to a lighter, silvery-champagne center. This uneven oxidation suggests it may have been stored in an environment exposed to sulfur or air for a prolonged period, which is common for older silver bullion. There are minor surface scuffs and edge contact marks visible, typical of an uncertified 'raw' coin. The strike appears sharp with clear feathering detail and distinct lettering. This piece represents the fifth year of the American Eagle Bullion Program, which began in 1986, and its value is derived from both its high silver content and secondary market collector interest based on its specific year and aesthetic toning.
