2023 American Silver Eagle Bullion Coin

This is a 2023 American Silver Eagle, the official bullion coin of the United States. The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's iconic 'Walking Liberty' design, modified and used since 1986. The coin is struck in one troy ounce of 99.9% fine silver, with a diameter of approximately 40.6mm. It showcases Liberty draped in the American flag, walking toward a rising sun on the horizon, with the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' and the year '2023' visible. This specific specimen is housed in a clear acrylic protective capsule, which has preserved its Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition. The silver displays a bright, lustrous white finish with sharp definition on the high points of Liberty’s gown and the sun's rays. No significant milk spotting or tarnish is readily visible in the image. The serrated edge is protected by the case. As a 2023 strike, it includes the refreshed 'Type 2' design security features introduced in 2021, most notably the notched reed design on the rim as an anti-counterfeiting measure. The craftsmanship appears to be of the standard high strike quality typical of the West Point or San Francisco mints for bullion issues.
