In the early 20th century, American coin design entered what most believe to be its Golden Age. The movement started under President Theodore Roosevelt, who commissioned artist and sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to revitalize American gold coins. One of his students, Adolph A. Weinman, created another of the nation’s most iconic images. That image is now featured on the 1 oz Sunshine Mint Walking Liberty Silver Round, available today through Silver.com.
More and more often investors are turning to rounds as a way to invest in silver as they are a great alternative to silver bars due to their low premiums over the spot price of silver.
Coin Highlights:
- Design inspired by Adolph A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty.
- Consists of one ounce of .999 fine silver.
- Struck by the Sunshine Mint in Idaho, USA.
- Features MintMark SI authentication technology.
Silver Rounds offer an excellent option for investors and collectors looking for precious metal products with iconic designs, and more affordable prices or greater availability. The 1 oz Sunshine Mint Walking Liberty Silver Round is so-named as a round because it bears no face value. However, its silver content and design give it value all its own.
Adolph A. Weinman created the Walking Liberty design featured on this silver round in 1916 for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. That silver coin program continued through 1947, and Weinman’s creation lives on today on the obverse face of the sovereign silver coin of the United States; the American Silver Eagle.
On the obverse face of this 1 oz Sunshine Mint Walking Liberty Silver Round is the image of Lady Liberty as she strides toward the setting sun. With an American flag draped across her shoulders, the image is indicative of the nation’s march toward a brighter future.
The reverse side of these silver rounds features the bald eagle, America’s national emblem, with the traditional arrows of war and olive branch of peace included. Idaho’s Sunshine Mint produces these silver rounds each year. The Mint is a privately-owned entity with facilities in Idaho, Nevada, and Shanghai. In addition to producing its own rounds, it provides high quality silver and gold blanks to some of the world’s largest mints, including the United States Mint.

I have ordered many of these because of the quality and just placed another 40 on order! You cannot beat these or Silver.com.
great and timely service
Great coin. If your looking for a coin you can start off acquiring your silver, this would be a good coin to have. Thanks for the timely order silver.com
The photo does not do justice to this beautiful silver round. It has a mirrored background and frosted figures in the foreground much like a proof-strike. And the price was excellent. I got 18 of these and they came in a mint-tube. But I bought some non-cardboard coin-flips to show off one or two. Excellent.
Quickest shipping I’ve seen will be ordering again!
These rounds are beautiful! I am a huge fan of Sunshine Mint products due to the industry exclusive security feature, and also due to the typically lower price. Buy these and you will not be disappointed.
I ordered 10 of these to test their quality. I received them about 3 days after my check cleared. They came in a coin tube (nice bonus). These pictures of the round don’t do them justice. The back ground on the ones I received are mirror-like. The graphics are frosty and well struck. I’ve already got 10 more on the way. My only complaint is that I wish I could wire the money even if the order is less than $2,000.
Ordered 30 of these rounds and was amazed how beautiful they are in person. Could not be more happier with this product.
This Sunshine Walking Liberty is a high quality round. The edges are clean and there are few imperfections. The background is a higher shine resulting in more contrast than you would see in an ASE. I noticed that the sun (lower left) occasionally picks up a mark from stamping or handling. Very pleased with these as rounds and the Sunshine Mint Mark SI adds confidence.
i got 20 of these and their beautiful!! outstanding quality!!
SMI does it again!!
