Silver coins called "eagles" were introduced in the 1980s as bullion pieces sold to collectors and investors. The $1 denomination is completely artificial.
However, back in the 1930s and earlier, $1 coins were struck in silver for general circulation. They were called silver dollars, "cartwheels", or Morgan or Peace dollars depending on their design. Because the price of silver was controlled these coins contained what was then a dollar's worth of silver. They could be and were used in ordinary commerce, generally in the western part of the country.
