About the 1997 American Silver Eagle:
The year 1997 was spare for Silver American Eagles. The 1997 Silver Eagle had a relatively small mintage, with fewer than 4.3 million 1997 American Silver Eagle bullion coins struck.

The U.S. Mint also trimmed the size of the proof mintage to the second fewest ever.

The 1997 Proof Silver Eagle was included in a new set offered by the U.S. Mint in 1997. As part of the launch of the new Platinum Eagle, the "Impressions of Liberty Set" included proof coins from Gold Eagle, Silver Eagle and Platinum Eagle mintages. Only 5,000 sets were produced.

No matter the size of the mintage, you can purchase American Silver Eagle coins with the assurance that they're backed by the United States Government. Silver Eagles are the only silver bullion coin certified by the U.S. Government for purity, content and weight. And as legal tender, they are eligible for investment in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

In short, 1997 American Silver Eagles are one of the most convenient, safest and secure ways to invest in precious metals.

The overall average price of silver during 1997 was $4.91 per ounce.
