The United States Mint's flagship program, authorized by Congress in 1985 and struck every year since 1986. Silver Eagles carry Adolph Weinman's Walking Liberty obverse; Gold Eagles use Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Liberty; Platinum Eagles carry John Mercanti's Statue of Liberty and a reverse design that changes with each year's theme.

Because the series runs unbroken across four decades, the interest sits in the exceptions — the 2006 and 2011 anniversary reverse proofs, the West Point mint hoard releases, the privy-marked issues, and the years where a top grade stayed genuinely scarce.

Every coin is certified and listed with its grading service, grade and certification number.
