1 Dollar "American Silver Eagle" (Bullion Coin) · “American Silver Eagle”

The American Silver Eagle

In 1985, the U.S. government had a mountain of silver it wanted to get rid of — and a political reason it couldn't just sell it. The solution was a coin. Forty years on, the American Silver Eagle is the most widely held silver bullion coin on Earth, and a few of its dates are chased like rarities a century older.
