The American Silver Eagle is a bullion coin produced by the United States Mint, first issued in 1986. This coin contains one troy ounce of .999 fine silver and features a design of walking liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. The Silver Eagle is popular among collectors and investors due to its intrinsic silver content, limited mintage, and appeal as a representation of American coinage. The series has continued annually, making specific dates, such as the inaugural 1986 issue, particularly sought after in the numismatic market.
