1 oz American Silver Eagle

Product Description

The 1 oz American Silver Eagle coin was released in 1986.

The 1 oz American Silver Eagle is America’s only official investment-grade silver bullion coin. It is considered one of the most beautiful coins ever minted. Also the world’s only Silver bullion coin whose weight, content, and purity are guaranteed by the government of the United States.

Authorized by Congress in 1985 and first minted in 1986, each coin weighs one troy ounce and contains an ounce of .999 fine silver. This coin measures 40.6mm in diameter and its thickness  is 2.98mm. Impressively large and substantial coins.

The obverse of the Silver Eagle coin depicts the Walking Liberty design created by Adolph A. Weinman. The Walking Liberty image on the Silver Eagle coin is one of the most cherished and well-known designs ever to grace coins minted by the United States.

The reverse of the American Silver Eagle coin is just as impressive as the obverse; featuring an American eagle.

Silver Has Always Been Money

Silver has been considered a precious element for 6000 years. It was first used as a currency in 700 B.C. and has had a role as a trading metal in nearly every ancient and modern culture. From the drachma of the ancient Greeks, which contained an eighth of an ounce of silver to the Roman denarius and the British pound sterling, which designated a specific weight amount of the element, silver has long held a special place as a store of value.

Today, its intrinsic value persists. It is considered a secure and affordable investment and has earned a place in the portfolios of many different types of investors for that reason.
