Design
The Silver Eagle coin captures the grace and elegance of Sculptor-Engraver Adolph A. Weinman’s celebrated Walking Liberty design. The obverse features Liberty striding toward the sunrise, draped in the Stars and Stripes and carrying branches of laurel and oak in her arms to symbolize both civil and military glory. The reverse design, by United States Mint Sculptor/Engraver John Mercanti, features a striking heraldic eagle with shield, olive branch in the right talon and arrows in the left. An interesting thing to note is that bullion strike Silver Eagles bear no mintmarks indicating which U.S. Mint facility produced the coins, therefore bullion Silver Eagles minted in West Point and San Francisco respectively are indistinguishable.

Composition
American Silver Eagle bullion coins contain 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, weighing in at 31.10 grams. Because the Silver Eagle has a face value of $1 and is a legal-tender bullion coin with its weight, content, and purity guaranteed by the United States government, this coin is eligible to be held in individual retirement accounts (IRAs).

“Can I open this tube and remove the coins?”
Not recommended!
