Overview
The American Silver Eagle is far more than a bullion coin—it’s a national emblem, an investment-grade asset, and a direct connection to American heritage. First minted in 1986 under the Liberty Coin Act, this silver coin was designed to give investors a trustworthy way to own physical silver while also allowing the U.S. government to strategically reduce its military silver reserves.
Featuring Adolph Weinman’s iconic Walking Liberty design on the obverse—originally used on the half dollar in the early 20th century—the coin radiates classic American artistry. Lady Liberty strides confidently toward the sunrise, draped in the U.S. flag, a symbol of hope and perseverance.
On the reverse, a major update arrived in 2021. The U.S. Mint unveiled a powerful new design of an eagle in flight, grasping an oak branch as it descends to land—a fresh take that merges patriotic symbolism with elegant motion. This replaced the original heraldic eagle that had appeared on every Silver Eagle since its launch.
Each Silver Eagle contains exactly one troy ounce of .999 pure silver, with guaranteed weight and purity certified by the U.S. Mint. It’s accepted worldwide and admired for its beauty, reliability, and historical significance.
Whether you’re looking to diversify into silver for the first time, add to a Precious Metals IRA, or simply hold a tangible asset backed by the U.S. government, the American Silver Eagle is a solid foundation for any precious metals portfolio.
