American Silver Eagles
American Silver Eagles were first minted in 1986 as a result of the Liberty Coin Act introduced by Senator McClure. The Liberty Coin Act's goal was to shrink the national stockpile of silver by using it for collecting and investing of the public and everyday Americans. They are the official silver bullion coins of the United States, and they have a one dollar face value.
