While it is the first year that Silver eagles were minted, the mintage was relatively high, so there are many around. Silver coins are valued by spot price ( the current market price of silver ) and numismaticly ( the rarity and collectability of the coin above it's silver value ). The condition of the coin also affects it's value. A worn coin is only worth the spot price of silver, a slightly scratched coin but otherwise unworn is considered BU ( brilliant uncirculated ) And is worth about $47 (1/24/2012)
If the coin is certified by a grading service ( PCGS,NGC,ICG, ) and receives a high grade MS (mint state ) 69 - near perfect or MS 70 - a perfect coin that raises the price considerably. An NGC certified MS 69 would be about $75 while a MS 70 would be around $500. All grading services are different (grading is subjective ) , with PCGS being by far the harshest. They only certified 3 1986 coins as MS 70 those coins are worth thousands (1/24/2012). Are they nicer coins than NGC MS 70 ? Maybe not but they are rarer and therefore more collectable. Just remember, as with any other " collectable " it is always and only worth what you can convince someone else to pay for it.
Oh FYI, a complete set of NGC MS 70 Eagles 1986 to 2012 is worth about $ 60,000 to $70,000

"Silver eagles" are modern bullion coins minted since 1986 and sold to investors and collectors. They contain 1 troy ounce of silver so their value is tied to the price of silver. That changes every day so any answer posted here would be out of date almost immediately. Current silver prices are available from many sources including sites like kitco.com and the financial section of any major newspaper.FAQsThe "one dollar" denomination on the back of a silver eagle is artificial. The coins aren't intended to be spent. True silver dollars ($1 silver coins minted 1935 and earlier) are often confused with eagles, but those coins wereintended for spending. They contain about 0.77 oz of silver and in many cases are worth more as collectibles than for their silver content.
None, because the only silver coins named "eagles" are the 1-oz bullion pieces minted since 1986 and sold to collectors and investors. All silver quarters, halves, and dollars minted in 1901 show an eagle on the back, as do all gold coins of that date. The $10 pieces WERE in fact called eagles. If you're referring to $1 pieces the design struck in 1901 was called a Morgan dollar. About 23 million were minted in total at Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco. However many were melted under the Pitman act. If you're referring to the $10 pieces about 3.6 million were struck at the same 3 mints.
Many U.S. coins have eagles. Dates and denominations are needed. Post new question.
