1 oz Silver Eagle Colorized 2001 $1 911 Remembering Our Heroes

A special colorized version of the American Silver Eagle, this 2001 issue pays tribute to first responders. The reverse features a dramatic full-color American flag design overlaid on the standard heraldic eagle motif. The obverse shows the traditional Walking Liberty design. What makes this coin exceptional is its historical significance as one of the first colorized Silver Eagles approved by the U.S. Mint. The vibrant colors are permanently bonded to the silver surface using a special minting process. These were typically sold in special presentation cases with descriptive literature about the memorial purpose.
