The coin is NOT a "Silver Eagle", it's a Peace dollar. Silver Eagles are 1 ounce bullion coins of pure silver, first made in 1986. A 1935 Peace dollar is 90% silver, most circulated coins are valued from $30.00-$40.00.
This is called a bullion coin. They are made out of 99.93% pure silver. They are worth about $43.27 because of the value of silver. They will be worth the same amount as the value of silver per ounce. See the related link below for the value of silver per ounce.
The U.S. silver eagle is 99.9% silver with a miniscule amount of copper.
The coin isn't actually a dollar. It's a "silver eagle" containing 1 oz of pure silver and sold to collectors and investors. The $1 denomination is artificial. Its actual value changes with the price of silver bullion; as of 02/2010 it sells for about $17-18.
Modern Silver Eagles (1986 to date) contain One Ounce of pure silver.
