Proof Silver Eagles
Authorized by Congress in 1985 and first minted in 1986, Silver Eagles are .999 fine silver, the finest silver coins ever issued by the United States. Each coin contains a full troy ounce of silver.
Often considered one of the most beautiful coins ever minted, the Silver Eagle’s design is based on A.A. Weinman’s "Walking Liberty," introduced on the 1917 silver half-dollar. An eagle and shield, displaying American strength and pride, backs this moving scene of freedom.
