John M. Mercanti & Michael ‘Miles’ Standish 
American Silver Eagles 
A Guide to the U.S. Bullion Coin Program

No less an expert than John M. Mercanti—the designer of the American Silver Eagle’s reverse—shares his unique insight and perspective on these beautiful pieces of Americana. To create this book, Mercanti has drawn on nearly 40 years of experience working in the U.S. Mint. Mercanti is joined by Miles Standish, vice president and senior grader of the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), who has studied and graded the finest, rarest, and most valuable coins in the world. These two experts bring together diverse elements—technical and artistic, historical and current, market-driven and hobbyist—to make American Silver Eagles a valuable addition to any collector’s or investor’s bookshelf.
