This coin is important because they are considered the only investment-grade Silver bullion produced by the United States Mint. Released in 1986, the American Silver Eagle coin continues to be one of the most popular Silver bullion coins in circulation. 

The obverse of the Silver Eagle coin depicts the Walking Liberty design created by Adolph A. Weinman. Also used on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar coins issued from 1916 to 1947, the Walking Liberty image on the Silver Eagle Coin is one of the most cherished and well-known designs ever to grace coins minted by the United States. The reverse of the American Silver Eagle coin is just as impressive as the obverse featuring an American eagle, the very symbol of our nation’s freedom and echoes patriotism and national pride. The Weinman design was widely praised by not only numismatic experts, but by the public as a whole. The design was one of the early designs at the beginning of the 20th century that ushered in a new era of beautiful coin designs.
