The 1988 United States Silver Eagle is part of the American Silver Eagle coin series, which was first introduced in 1986. These coins contain one troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver and are legal tender with a face value of one dollar. The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's iconic Walking Liberty design, while the reverse showcases a heraldic eagle with a shield. The 1988 Silver Eagles are particularly significant as they marked the third year of the series, and their limited mintage adds to their appeal among collectors.
