About the American Silver Eagle:
In the brief period since its introduction in 1986, the American Silver Eagle has become the most widely traded silver bullion coin in the world. It stands at the summit of a two-hundred-year history of American silver coinage. Since 1986, over five-hundred million American Silver Eagles have been sold to collectors and investors around the world. As stipulated by law, American Silver Eagles are composed of silver mined exclusively in the United States with a purity of .999, making them the purest U.S. silver bullion coins ever minted. All American Silver Eagles are struck in the one troy ounce denomination with a nominal face value of $1. The American Silver Eagle is considered by many to be the most beautiful coin in production today. The obverse takes its design directly from one of the most iconic coins in U.S. history― Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty half-dollar of 1916-1947. The reverse of the coin features a new design by John Mercanti, the chief engraver at the U.S. Mint. It depicts a proud heraldic eagle placed directly beneath thirteen stars representing the original thirteen colonies. By combining the classic with the modern, the American Silver Eagle coins capture the unique spirit of our country― proud of our history while moving forward with purpose.
