Historical Insight:
2006 marked the 20th anniversary of the American Silver Eagle program, which began in 1986. As silver gained renewed interest due to growing concerns over inflation and global instability, the 2006 release became a significant entry in the series. It represents a bridge between early Eagle issues and the economic boom in precious metals that followed just a few years later during the Great Recession.
