This question comes up fairly often and is a common misunderstanding. US $1 coins made up till 1935 aren't called "eagles" and they don't contain 1 oz of silver. They were ordinary circulation coins made for use in daily commerce. While they do contain silver, it's not as much - about 3/4 of a troy ounce.
"Silver eagles" are modern (1986 and later) coins sold by the Mint as investment pieces, not for spending; their value is linked to the current price of silver and the "$1" value is purely artificial.
The coin you have is often called a Peace dollar because it was minted to celebrate the end of WWI. Its value when minted was in fact exactly $1 because silver was much cheaper and its price was controlled. Today it has value not only for its silver content but for its interest to collectors.
