American Silver Dollars

There are many excellent reasons why you should be collecting the American Silver Dollar

American Silver Dollars, (Silver Eagles), are congressionally authorised and produced by the United States Mint at West Point, New York.

They are legal tender coins with a face value of one dollar, although they are worth considerably more since the market price of one ounce of silver has been many times greater than one dollar for more than four decades.

Since the first day American Eagle Silver Dollars were released in 1986, they've been the most highly prized and most popular Silver Bullion Coins in the world.

Many coin collectors consider the design of the Silver Eagle coin to be one of the most beautiful ever produced.

The obverse (front) of the coin features Adolph A. Weinman's stunning Walking Liberty design originally used on U.S. Silver Half Dollars from 1916 through 1947.

The reverse design is a rendition of a heraldic eagle by John Mercanti and also features a shield, with 13 stars positioned above the eagle's head, representing the 13 original American colonies.

Highly prized for their historical beauty and pure silver content, American Eagle Silver Dollars are the largest Silver Dollars ever issued by the U.S. Mint.
