Silver American Eagle coins were originally introduced in 1986 as part of a government program to use Defense National Stockpile Silver to raise funds for the federal government. Congress approved production of the Silver American Eagle with passage of the Liberty Coin Act of 1985.
The first Silver American Eagle coins were struck and released in 1986. Silver American Eagle coins are only available in a one troy ounce weight, and the initial introduction included a bullion version and proof version of the coin. Bullion coins bear no mint marks, while proof coins bear varying mint marks dependent upon the year of issue.
