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 was worth exactly $1 when minted 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. There's more information at the Related Question.

What is the value of a 1921 eagle coin?
A 1921 silver dollar is not the same as an "eagle coin". So-called "eagle dollars" are modern bullion pieces sold for their silver content - the $1 denomination is artificial. Up till 1935 $1 coins were large and contained silver. The price of silver was controlled so they were only worth $1, so they were used in normal commerce. Two designs of $1 coin were made that year.
