Spare Change Episode 6: American Silver Eagle Coins & Bullion
Mark Apsolon's video about American Silver Eagles (ASE) was yet another enjoyable video in the series.
Some facts about the American Silver Eagle:
They were first minted in 1986 and are still being produced.
The obverse design was taken from the Walking Half Dollar minted from 1916 to 1947.
They are 99.93% silver and .07% copper weighing 31.101 grams.
ASEs were minted at the Philadelphia, San Francisco and West Point mints.
Although the face value is 1 dollar, the value of the silver in ASEs has always exceeded that value.

I find it interesting that since 1986, there have been about 180 million American Silver Eagles minted. That number might seem like a lot, but it's a small number compared to the number of Lincoln cents minted at Denver in the year 2000 alone (8.74 billion).
