The 1998 American Silver Eagle is the 13th coin in the series and continues to uphold the high standards set by its predecessors. Composed of one ounce of .999 fine silver, the 1998 Silver Eagle carries the same timeless and patriotic designs that have made the coin a favorite among collectors and investors alike.
Obverse Design:
The obverse of the 1998 Silver Eagle features the Walking Liberty design by Adolph A. Weinman, which has become one of the most iconic and enduring images in American coinage. Lady Liberty is depicted walking toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag, with an olive branch in her right hand and her left hand holding the folds of her robe. The inscriptions on the obverse read LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the year 1998, symbolizing the values of freedom, hope, and strength.
Reverse Design:
On the reverse, the heraldic eagle design by John M. Mercanti is featured. The eagle is shown clutching an olive branch and arrows, representing both peace and the readiness to defend the nation when needed. Above the eagle are 13 stars, symbolizing the original 13 American colonies. The reverse also carries the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1 OZ. FINE SILVER, and E PLURIBUS UNUM, emphasizing the connection to American history, unity, and heritage.
Collector Value:
The 1998 American Silver Eagle holds strong appeal for collectors, as it is part of the ongoing Silver Eagle program that has grown in popularity and recognition. The mintage for the 1998 coin was relatively standard compared to other years, meaning it is not considered particularly rare, but it is still highly valued by those who are completing a set of early Silver Eagles. The value of the coin typically tracks with the current market price of silver, though as a key coin in the series, it may carry a slight premium.
While the 1998 coin is not as rare as some of the more limited mintage years, such as the 1996 release, it remains an important piece for collectors, especially those who focus on obtaining a complete set of the series. The appeal of the 1998 Silver Eagle lies not only in its silver content but also in its role as part of the ongoing success of the American Silver Eagle program, which has become one of the most recognizable and respected bullion coin programs in the world.
