silver eagle

American investment coin

Silver eagle refers to several things united by the image of a silver-colored eagle.

In the U.S. military, a silver eagle is the insignia of a colonel or Navy captain—the rank just below general.

The American Silver Eagle is a one-ounce silver bullion coin minted since 1986, popular with investors and collectors: He bought ten silver eagles as a hedge against inflation.
