The United States Mint is commemorating the majesty of our national symbol with this Bald Eagle commemorative silver proof dollar coin.

The Bald Eagle, unique to North America, was designated America's national emblem by the Founding Fathers on June 20, 1782, at the Second Continental Congress. Once threatened with possible extinction in the lower 48 states, the Bald Eagle was classified as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Because of the success of numerous concerted recovery efforts, the Bald Eagle was removed from the Endangered Species List in 2007.

The Bald Eagle’s proud bearing has adorned the Great Seal of the United States since 1782, representing to the world the American values of courage, spirit, and equality. The obverse of this coin portrays a mature Bald Eagle soaring in flight, with its majestic wings spread. The reverse features the original rendition of the Great Seal of the United States that was in use from 1782 to 1841.

Includes Capsule, Official Case and Certificate of Authenticity.
