These fears pushed precious metal prices higher, and with it, interest in American Silver Eagle coins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe American Silver Eagle had been on an upward trend starting in 1997. The 2000 American Silver Eagle had an overall mintage that was more than double that of 1996. In fact, production was up by 2 million coins in total from just the previous year (1999).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere were 9.2 million 2000 American Silver Eagle bullion coins produced, representing a jump of 1.8 million from 1999. Additionally, the proof version of the coin saw a jump of 50,000 coins from the previous year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn the obverse, as usual, is the image of Walking Liberty from Adolph A. Weinman. The reverse features the heraldic eagle of the United States from John Mercanti. The 2000 American Silver Eagle, both bullion and proof, was the last struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Proof coins had been at the Philadelphia Mint since 1993, while the bullion was there for just two years in 1999 and 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zernat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47819823906868,"sku":null,"price":22.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/9049\/1444\/files\/51vleSyGusL.jpg?v=1779206363","url":"https:\/\/www.mycrochetstudio.store\/en-us\/products\/2000-american-silver-eagle-999-fine-silver-uncirculated-us-2000","provider":"mycrochetstudio.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
