American Silver Eagles are also considered by many to be one of the most beautiful coins ever minted anywhere in the world. Their obverse design is based on the U.S. "Walking Liberty" half dollar, first minted in 1916 and designed by German-immigrant sculptor Adolph Alexander Weinman, who also designed the famous U.S. "Mercury" dime, also introduced in 1916.

The reverse side of the coin features a design inspired by the Draped Bust/Heraldic Eagle Silver Dollar minted from 1798-1804. Displayed is an imposing Bald Eagle and shield with 13 stars, representing the 13 original American colonies, positioned above the eagle's head. Lettering around the reverse edge reads: "*UNITED STATES OF AMERICA* / 1 OZ. FINE SILVER~ONE DOLLAR".

The silver American Eagle is minted at the U.S. Mint's West Point, New York facility, and is a legal tender U.S. coin with a face value of USD$1...granted, a largely symbolic amount, since the market price of one ounce of silver has been many times greater than one dollar for more than four decades.

Silver American Eagles are available from COINSPlus, Inc in units of 20 one-ounce coins. Shipping charges will apply. However, if you wish to purchase less than the minimum amount, please visit our online store.
