An Iconic American Coin First Minted in 1986
The American Silver Eagle was first released in 1986 alongside the American Gold Eagle. However, unlike its gold sibling that comes in four denominations, the American Silver Eagle was only minted in one denomination: 1 oz coins with a $1 face value. All American Silver Eagle coins for sale are guaranteed to contain 1 troy oz of 99.9% pure silver.
Besides its inherent value due to its silver content, Silver American Eagles are stunning works of art worthy of the most prestigious collections. The coin’s beloved Lady Liberty design is based on imagery created by Adolph Weinman—an extremely popular design originally featured on Walking Liberty Half Dollars minted from 1916 to 1947.

FAQs: American Eagle Silver Coins
What’s the most economical way to buy American Eagle Silver Coins for sale?
The most cost-effective way to build an American Silver Eagle Coin collection is to purchase the coins in bulk. This reduces the markup, or premium, that’s included in the price of each coin.
What are the bulk purchasing options?
As an American Silver Eagle Coin shop and a Tier 1 U.S. Mint bullion dealer, we’re able to offer quantities of 20 that come packaged in plastic tubes, as well as quantities of 500 that come in sealed monster boxes. Of course, you can also purchase the coins individually.
What sizes are available?
There’s only one size available when it comes to American Eagle Silver Coins for sale: one oz coins with a face value of $1.
Why do American Silver Eagles have a face value?
The face value exists so that the coins are classified as legal tender, which allows them to be moved across country borders without incurring taxes or tariffs.
How much silver does each coin contain?
American Silver Eagles are made from 99.9% pure silver (.999 fine) with trace amounts of copper included for added durability. Each coin contains one troy oz (31.1 grams) of silver.
Are your American Silver Eagles graded?
If you’re planning on starting or adding to a Silver Eagle coin collection, you may wish to purchase our graded American Eagle Silver Coins for sale. The American Silver Eagles listed in our silver bullion coins section are ungraded. However, we do sell graded American Silver Eagles in our silver numismatics section.
What’s the difference between bullion coins and numismatics?
Bullion coins are the ideal choice for investors who simply wish to own coins for their precious metals content. Numismatics are collectible coins that have a higher value than their intrinsic precious metals content due to various factors such as rarity, condition, and market demand.
For example, a 1986 (first mint year) American Silver Eagle in perfect MS70 condition is a highly desirable coin, as less than 1% of them achieved this rare grade. Its value is naturally going to be higher than standard circulated American Eagle Silver Coins for sale.
How are coins graded?
Numismatic coins are graded according to the Sheldon Coin Grading Scale, a standardized scale that runs from 1-70, with a 70 signifying a mint coin with no flaws. The scale considers multiple factors, such as the coin’s strike, luster, coloration, surface preservation, and overall eye appeal.
How do I know the coin’s grade is accurate?
Our coins are graded by established third-party grading services — the PCGS and NGC. Each coin is labeled with the coin’s grade, denomination, year, and unique barcode.
