American Silver Eagles

American Silver Eagles Articles

American Silver Eagles are more than just bullion coins. They are one-ounce silver coins that store wealth for investors and excite the passions of coin collectors. Since its debut in 1986, the Silver Eagle has married the sculptural beauty of the classic coin designs of America’s past with the highly detailed designs of American master engraver John Mercanti (1986-2021) and artist Emily Damstra and engraver Michael Gaudioso (2021-Present).

For nearly 40 years, the American Silver Eagle has surprised collectors as the seemingly straightforward series grew increasingly complex. With the release of coins in limited edition collector sets, coins with special finishes, and even coins with limited edition privy marks, collectors can pursue a series that offers good value, variety, a deep collector base, and challenge.

The best part is that every coin contains one ounce of .999 fine silver.
