History of the American Silver Eagle Program
The U.S. Mint attempted to establish selling Silver bullion in the 1970s and early 1980s to help reduce the Defense National Stockpile. The reasoning was that domestic needs exceeded that of strategic needs. Many refiners had actually opposed the plan due to concerns of diminishing the need of in-state mining and possible reduction of Silver spot at the time. Throughout the back-and-forth, the United States did end up selling-off large amounts of Silver (roughly 105 million troy ounces) but not as coin, as they had originally intended. When this happened, it did in fact cause the price of Silver to drop immediately. Many traders started unloading futures with the anticipation that price would fall, which it did. Over a span of several years and suspensions, it wasn’t until June 21, 1985, that the senate finally agreed to an amendment by a voice vote. The amended bill was signed by President Reagan on July 9, 1985. The bill, know as the “Liberty Coin Act” authorized the law of the American Silver Eagle program with an effective date of October 1, 1985, but came with stipulations that no coins may be struck or sold until September 1, 1986. Finally, after all of this, the first American Silver Eagle was released on November 24, 1986, which has gone on to become one of the most beloved, best-selling coins in the world.
The 2004 1 oz American Silver Eagle: The Walking Liberty Silver Dollar
The 2004 1 oz American Silver Eagle, also known as the 2004 Walking Liberty Silver Dollar, showcases a design that has captured the hearts of collectors and enthusiasts for over a century. The obverse of the coin features the iconic "Walking Liberty" design, originally created by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916. This timeless design depicts Lady Liberty gracefully striding towards the rising sun, draped in the American flag. With her right hand extended, she carries branches of laurel and oak, symbolizing civil and military honors. The Walking Liberty design exudes a sense of freedom, beauty, and optimism that resonates with collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
The reverse of the 2004 Walking Liberty Silver Dollar was skillfully designed by John Mercanti. It features a majestic heraldic eagle behind a shield, clutching a banner in its beak and holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons. This powerful image draws inspiration from the Great Seal of the United States and embodies the ideals of strength, liberty, and unity. Above the eagle, thirteen stars represent the original Thirteen Colonies, a nod to the rich history of America's founding. The reverse design by John Mercanti perfectly complements the elegance and significance of the Walking Liberty obverse, making the 2004 American Silver Eagle a true work of art.

Direct from the U.S. Mint
The U.S. Mint does not sell its bullion coins directly to the public. Instead, they distribute their coins to only a handful of authorized purchasers who then sell the coins to the public. As one of these authorized purchasers, APMEX is able to get coins directly from the U.S. Mint and pass them along to you, our customer.
NOTE: The coins you receive may exhibit some level of natural toning and/or oxidation such as spotting. This is a normal process that and can occur over time when exposed to hydrogen sulfide which is naturally occurring in the air.
If you are considering Silver Eagle coins versus silver bars consider the benefits of buying American Silver Eagles, which include high liquidity, a face value, and government backed purity.
