1994-P 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle Coin (Box + CoA)

In the American Silver Eagle program, 1994 will forever be remembered as one of the two lowest mintage years in what is now a 30-year-old program. While the total production of roughly 4.5 million coins is not the lowest in program history, the 1994-P Proof American Silver Eagle is the lowest minted proof in program history at 372,168.

After enjoying higher mintage levels between 5.5 million and 7.7 million during the first 8 years of the American Silver Eagle program, 1994 marked the start of five years that saw mintage figures remain exceptionally low amidst a booming American economy that saw job and wage growth, not to mention a strong market economy.

The United States Mint refined Adolph A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty design, after 39 years in the shadows, for use on the obverse face of the American Silver Eagle. Weinman’s creation was previously used on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar from 1916 when he designed it, to 1947 when a new half-dollar image was created.
