The act was created in the interests of reducing the federal deficit, which at the time was climbing to 40% of the GDP. The idea for selling bullion by striking coins was first brought up by Idaho Senator James A. McClure; previously, silver had been used in US coins for circulation, but never before simply to sell off silver bullion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Silver Eagle's obverse design was the same as used for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar series, 1916-1947, designed by Adolph A. Weinman. This has proved to be one of the most widely admired US coin obverse designs, as the sharp relief detail and classical art-deco design bring out the natural beauty and dignity in the silver. The reverse is a heraldic eagle and shield design by John M. Mercanti. It is a design close to that of the Great Seal of the United States.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 1989 Silver Eagle is certified in perfect NGC MS70 - a rare find!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"US Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45263399125281,"sku":"CTV000791","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9891\/7153\/products\/1989SilverEagleUncirculatedObversePhiladelphiaMintNGCMS70.png?v=1685069059","url":"https:\/\/dev-coinstv.myshopify.com\/products\/1989-silver-eagle-business-strike-ngc-ms70","provider":"dev-coinstv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
