Mintage figures for the Proof American Eagle Silver Coin rose for four consecutive years in the late 1990s and early 2000s before bouncing up and down each year until 2003. That year the mintage rose and would continue to increase incrementally each year through the 2006 release. The 2005 coin sold a modest amount more than its 2004 counterpart, increasing by just 16,000 coins. However, the jump from 2005 to 2006 would be more than 200,000 as demand for the 20th-anniversary date mark was intense.

Obverse

On the obverse face of the 2005-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coin, you will notice the image of Walking Liberty. This artwork was created in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman and submitted to the US Mint for consideration on one of three silver coin denominations being redesigned at that time. His vision of Liberty walking toward the sun on the horizon was chosen that year to grace the half dollar and would continue in production on that coin until 1947.

Reverse

The reverse field of 2005 Proof American Eagle Silver Coins bears the image of the heraldic eagle of the United States. The heraldic eagle has the national shield of the United States on its chest and clutches the olive branch of peace and arrows of war in its talons. The eagle also has a triangular cluster of 13 stars above its head to represent the original American colonies.

History

Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins are a popular collectible series. With mintages that have exceeded 350,000 even in a down year in terms of demand, the Proof American Eagle Silver Coin often outsells other major silver bullion coin programs, like the Mexican Libertad Silver coin.
