Bullion Values

 

The U.S. stopped producing Gold coins in 1934 and Silver coins in 1965, leaving a gap that the industry was eager to fill. Bullion coins struck primarily for investments started with the Krugerrand and, with its success, other nations began to strike their own – including the U.S. Mint with their most popular American Gold and Silver Eagles program in 1986. 

The Silver Eagle is a coin with a nominal face value of one dollar that is made of one troy ounce of 99.9% Fine Silver. There are bullion, proof and uncirculated versions available
These large five-ounce coins duplicate the designs of the America the Beautiful series of quarters, and though these are much more valuable they have the same face value.
The American Eagle coin program came about after private Gold ownership was reinstituted in the United States. Prior to this point, from the time of President Franklin Roosevelt’s Executive Order 6192 in 1933, private Gold ownership had been banned.
