The American Silver Eagle was first released in 1986 as part of the American Eagle Bullion Program. This program was authorized by Congress in 1985. Known as the Liberty Coin Act, the Treasury was to produce gold and silver bullion coins with their weight, content and purity guaranteed by the United States Government. This program would grow to be the #1 most invested in and collected coin in the world.
From the beginning of the series, American Silver Eagles have drawn the attention of not only bullion investors but also coin collectors. The coins are often viewed as the modern equivalent of Silver Dollars. They are struck in .999 silver and carry a $1 face value. Coin collectors can assemble the complete series by obtaining one coin for each date and adding to the collection with each new release.
the demand for silver bullion coins has expanded considerably. The economic uncertainties experienced during the second half of 2008 led to a dramatic increase in demand for physical precious metals. The United States Mint experienced difficulty meeting the sudden higher level of demand for bullion coins. Therefore, Silver Eagle mintages are all across the board.
On several occasions, the Mint has been forced to suspend bullion coin sales when available inventories were exhausted. The Mint has also often resorted to imposing an allocation program, which rationed available supplies amongst authorized purchasers. Despite the suspensions and rationing, annual silver bullion coin sales achieved successive all time highs from 2008 to 2011. Annual sales records were also achieved in 2013, 2014, and 2015 when sales reached 47,000,000.
