The 2008 American Silver Eagle is a highly sought-after collectible coin produced by the United States Mint. It contains one troy ounce of .999 fine silver and features a design that depicts Adolph A. Weinman's "Walking Liberty" on the obverse and John Mercanti's heraldic eagle on the reverse. The 2008 issue is significant not only for its silver content but also for its demand among collectors due to its status as part of the iconic Silver Eagle series, which began in 1986. This particular year’s coin holds value beyond its bullion content due to variations in mint marks and population reports in the grading community.
