Here are a couple of suggestions:

American Silver Eagles: A Guide to the U.S. Bullion Coin Program, 2nd Edition
by John Mercanti, Michael "Miles" Standish

It's the most comprehensive look at the series and includes "insider" perspective from former US Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti.


A Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars
by Q. David Bowers

It's a nice "general purpose" reference on the series. If you're looking to become a VAM expert, you'll need to look elsewhere. Here's a link to a good list of VAM books: http://www.vamworld.com/VAM+Books

Hope that helps!
