Also due to the demand in silver, the demand for the American Silver Eagle Coin has gone up as well.
Officially, the Silver Eagle is the silver coin of the United States, the American Silver Eagle was released to the public back in November of 1986. As a coin that has been given its authorization by Congress, the weights and purities of these coins are guaranteed entirely by the United States Government. Each of these coins comes with a thickness of 2. 98 mm and each coin is guaranteed to contain at least 1 troy ounce of 99. 9% pure silver.
There is a design on the American Silver Eagles and it is taken from old half dollars that were in circulation from 1916 through 1947. This design was created by Adolph A. Weinman and is called "Walking Liberty." The design was loved so much that it was brought back to be used as the design that is currently on the American Silver Eagles since 1986.
American Silver Eagles are produced at 3 different mints. Each mint has their own mark that is placed on each coin to let the consumer know where the coin originated from. The Philadelphia Mint has the mint mark "P", the San Francisco Mint has the mint mark "S" and the West Point, NY Mint has the mint mark "W."
