American silver coin 1 dollar, Silver Eagle, 1oz fine silver, dated 1997. An American Silver Eagle, also called an ASE by some collectors, is a bullion coin issued by the United States mint. Each coin has a declared value of only one dollar. However, these are bullion coins, meaning they contain precious metals. Each one dollar coin has the following text: (date) – LIBERTY – In God We Trust – United States Of America – E Pluribus Unum – 1 OZ. Fine Silver One Dollar | The design is fairly plain. The obverse (front) of the coin has Lady Liberty with the sun behind her. The back, which is also called the reverse, pictures an eagle with shield and 13 stars.
