This more common variety of 2008 is easiest to distinguish by examing the dash between the R in SILVER and O in ONE on the reverse. If the dash is curved (~) then the this is the reverse of 2008. A straight dash is the reverse of 2007.

Special strike $1 American Silver Eagles are a collectible variety of the popular one-ounce silver bullion coin series issued by the United States Mint since 1986, struck with so-called "burnished" (soft, sand-blasted) surfaces. Popular for their unique surface appearance, they are also desirable for having much lower mintages than their proof-surface counterparts of the same year.

Obverse Description

The obverse design features a refreshed depiction of Adolph A. Weinman’s full-length figure of Liberty in full stride, enveloped in folds of the flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left.

Reverse Description

The reverse design features a stylized heraldic eagle design by John Mercanti.
