The 2020 $1 American Silver Eagle BU represents the final full-year issue of the classic Heraldic Eagle reverse, capping off 35 years of uninterrupted design tradition. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and is backed by the full faith of the United States government.
As the last coin to feature the original reverse before the historic design change in mid-2021, the 2020 Silver Eagle is an important key-date for collectors and silver enthusiasts alike.
This listing includes only Philadelphia Mint Brilliant Uncirculated coins—no West Point, San Francisco, or Proof versions.

Why Choose the 2020 American Silver Eagle?
The 2020 American Silver Eagle holds lasting importance as the last complete-year production run featuring the original reverse design introduced in 1986. Its timing—just before the historic redesign of 2021—makes it a staple for collectors assembling a full-date or pre-Type 2 set.
Philadelphia Mint BU issues are especially desirable among collectors seeking mint-specific continuity without the premiums associated with special mint marks or presentation finishes.
