American Silver Eagle coins were introduced by the United States Mint for the first time in 1986. Congress passed the Liberty Coin Act in 1985, authorizing the Treasury Department and the US Mint to produce an official silver bullion coin for the nation.
In this unique product listing from JM Bullion, you have the opportunity to purchase 20 American Silver Eagle coins in one transaction. Each coin included in the mint-sealed acrylic tube is a 2016 striking in the series, representing 30 years of American Silver Eagle production.
Originally introduced in a bullion and proof version in 1986, today the American Silver Eagle is also available in a burnished version, which was introduced on the 20th anniversary of the program in 2006. While its gold counterpart program boasts four total weights, the American Silver Eagle is available only in the traditional 1 oz. coin weight.
The obverse face of all American Silver Eagle coins features Walking Liberty, as created in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman. His creation features Lady Liberty in full-length figure, walking toward the sunset with an American flag draped around her shoulders.
On the reverse is the image of the heraldic eagle. Created in 1986 by US Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti, the image features a bald eagle, 13 stars for the original American Colonies, and engravings identifying the nation of issue and the coin’s weight, metal content, and face value.
The United States Mint produces American Silver Eagle coins at the San Francisco, Philadelphia, and West Point Mint facilities.

“I bought 5 of these tubes along with some other bullion over the past few months. Since my very first order in 2013, I have had an absolute great experience with JMB. Ordering is easy, e-check works wonderful and I get my order packaged so tightly that I have no concerns with delivery. Everything inside is very orderly as well. JMB has highly competitive prices and they are my first stop for all of my orders. Thank You!”
