Description
The American Silver Eagle program stems from the federal plan to sell silver holdings from the Defense National Stockpile in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1982, Senator McClure introduced a bill that allowed the disposal of the national stockpile through the sale of coins; this was amended in 1985, and the American Silver Eagle was first minted in 1986.
