The San Francisco Mint originally struck both coins from 1986 until 1992, when the proof specimen moved to the Philadelphia Mint in 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBullion coin production would be shifted to the Philadelphia Mint as well in 1999, and both coins would go to the West Point Mint in 2001, making 1998 the last time the coins were produced by separate facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother interesting fact for the 1998 American Silver Eagle is the declared ceiling on proof coins. The proof coins had a declared maximum of 450,000 in 1998. In coming years, this would be raised to 550,000, and eventually to 750,000 coins in the early 2000s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn the obverse of each 1998 American Silver Eagle coin is the image of Walking Liberty. Created by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916, it featured a full-length figure of Liberty as she walked toward the setting sun as a representation of the nation’s strive to discover a brighter tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe reverse features a modernized version of the historic heraldic eagle of the United States.
