She wears the American flag over her shoulders as she walks the nation toward a brighter future.

The reverse of 2018 Proof Silver Eagles includes one of the nations oldest designs. The heraldic eagle of the United States was first used on American coinage in 1794, and has been updated many times since. This design was updated in 1986 by John Mercanti, former Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.

First Strike is a designation for coins that arrive within 30 days of the US Mints set release date for 2018 Proof Silver Eagles. This is denoted by an FS label within the protective plastic slab the coin is housed in. Deep-cameo, or DCAM, coins have strong, frosted design elements and deeply-mirrored, clear background fields.
