American Silver Eagles are one-ounce silver bullion coins produced by the United States Mint. First released in 1986, these coins are made from 99.9% pure silver and are popular among collectors and investors alike. Each coin features a design of Lady Liberty on the front and an eagle on the back, symbolizing American freedom and strength. These coins are legal tender with a face value of one dollar, although their market value is typically much higher due to the silver content. American Silver Eagles are widely recognized and traded, making them a staple in the precious metals market.
