American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins

American Silver Eagles are an excellent way to balance your investment portfolio.

The only silver bullion coin backed by the U.S. government for weight and metal content, American Silver Eagles are the safest, most secure, and most convenient way to invest in silver bullion.

Issued since 1986 as legal tender by the U.S. Mints in Philadelphia and San Francisco, Silver Eagles are only available in the one-ounce weight with a face value of $1.00.
