One of the reasons why the United States Silver Eagle coin has become the most popular bullion coin in the world is because of its beauty. The Silver Eagle is often considered one of the most beautiful coins ever minted. The Silver Eagle coin has the famous design of the "Walking Liberty" on the obverse side of the coin. Adolph A. Weinman designed this in 1916. The Walking Liberty design was originally used on the American half-dollar and was revived for the use on the US Silver Eagle coin. On the reverse side of the Silver Eagle coin is the Heraldic Eagle with a shield that signifies American strength; John Mercanti designed the American Silver Eagle in 1986.

The investment liquidity of the American Silver Eagle coin is astounding. Aside from the Silver Eagle coin being legal tender in the United States, officially worth one US dollar, their design and government backing makes them convertible into currency worldwide.
