American Silver Eagle: High-Purity Silver, National Symbolism
Since 1986, the American Silver Eagle has been the most widely recognised silver coin in the US. Struck in .999 fine silver and backed by the US government, it combines practical investment potential with patriotic appeal.
What makes it a go-to for silver stackers?
- 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver
- Legal tender with $1 face value
- Eligible for IRAs
- Highly liquid in both investor and collector markets
Design updates in recent years have refreshed its reverse side while maintaining the classic Walking Liberty obverse. With strong resale value and official backing, it’s hard to beat for serious US silver investors.
