Silver American Eagles are one-ounce bullion coins issued by the United States Mint since 1986. The 2014 Silver Eagle features Adolph A. Weinman's iconic Walking Liberty design on the obverse and a depiction of a heraldic eagle on the reverse by John Mercanti. These coins are composed of .999 fine silver and are legal tender with a nominal face value of one dollar, though they often trade at a premium due to their silver content and collectible appeal among numismatists.
