It is highly popular among both collectors and "stackers" (people who buy silver as a store of value). Here is a breakdown of what you’re looking at:
Key Features
Composition: It contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver.
Design: The front (obverse) features the iconic "Walking Liberty" design by Adolph A. Weinman, which originally appeared on the half-dollar from 1916 to 1947.
Face Value: While its legal tender value is $1 USD, its actual market value is determined by the current spot price of silver plus a "premium" (the dealer's markup).
The "W" Mark: You can see the AW monogram near the hem of Liberty's gown; these are the artist's initials, not a mint mark.
Why it's Special
The 2024 issue continues the "Type 2" design, which was introduced mid-2021. If you flip the coin over, you'll see an eagle landing with a branch in its talons, replacing the older heraldic shield design.
