The Most Recognized Silver Bullion Coin in the World

The United States Mint’s American Silver Eagle bullion is the official bullion silver coin of the United States. Initially minted in 1986 and only made by the U.S. Mint, this coin is now the standard when it comes to investing in silver. Each coin is made up of 1 troy ounce of .999 or 99.9% fine silver, has a legal tender face value of $1 USD, and is guaranteed by the U.S. government as legal tender.

Whether you are purchasing for portfolio insurance, retirement diversification, or numismatic accumulation, the Silver Eagle coin value presents unparalleled liquidity, international acceptability, and enduring American heritage.

What Are American Silver Eagles?

The American Silver Eagles are the US Mint’s first official bullion coin, designed by Adolph A. Weinman, featuring the iconic Walking Liberty and heraldic eagle designs. The American Silver Eagle was mandated by the Liberty Coin Act of 1985 and was formally released in 1986 as a government-minted silver coin. It has grown to become one of the most actively traded and in-demand silver bullion coins available in the market.

The 1 oz silver eagles are struck at the Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, and West Point facilities of the US Mint. Purity, consistency, design integrity, and government-insured legitimacy render it a cornerstone asset for world silver buyers.

Every Silver Eagle contains:

  • Actual Metal content: .999 (99.9%) fine silver
  • Weight: 1 troy ounce
  • Diameter: 40.6 mm
  • Face Value: $1
  • Supported by: U.S. Treasury Department
  • IRA Eligible: Yes

From everyday investors to collectors and wholesale dealers, the Silver Eagle's trust and beauty combine to make it a unique investment. As of July 1, 2025, the silver eagles at BOLD are sold at a range of $38 to $49, with premiums as low as $2.80 per ounce over the silver spot price of $36.71 (as of the same date).
