The 1988-S is the \u003cb\u003ethird year of the series\u003c\/b\u003e — still an early-date issue that attracts strong collector interest, as the inaugural years of any beloved series command lasting premiums among date-set collectors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      The reverse features John Mercanti's iconic heraldic eagle design — a bold American bald eagle with shield, olive branch, and arrows — while the obverse showcases Adolph A. Weinman's magnificent \u003cb\u003eWalking Liberty\u003c\/b\u003e design, originally used on the US Half Dollar from 1916–1947 and widely considered one of the most beautiful coin designs ever struck by any mint. Together, these two designs create one of the most visually stunning proof coins in the entire American series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cb\u003eObverse:\u003c\/b\u003e Walking Liberty by Adolph A.
