Invest In Your Your Future With American Silver Eagles
3:49 AM
Even after more than 20 years of being in production, the American Silver Eagle Coin remains one of the most highly prized silver bullion coins on a national as well as a worldwide basis. Initially released by the United States Mint back in'86, American Silver Eagle coins have become the authorized silver bullion coin of our great nation.
The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's striking walking liberty design originally used on U.S. Silver Half Dollars from'16 to'47. The reverse design is the John Mercanti version of the bald eagle holding a shield, representative of our nation's strength and pride.
The United States Mint puts out proof specimens of American Silver Eagle coins designed for collectors. Proof American Eagle Coins undergo a specialized minting process, which begins by hand feeding polished coin blanks through presses fitted with special dies. The coin is then pressed numerous times making a highly-detailed frosted image which appears to drift over a polished, mirror-like background.
Following scrutiny by the Mint's quality control division, each Proof Silver Eagle Coin is encased in a protective plastic casing and mounted in a beautiful presentation case with its own official Certificate of Authenticity. Because Silver American Proof Eagles are manufactured by the United States Mint, each coin's content, purity and weight are assured by the Government of The United States. These are the only silver bullion coins that can carry this manner of guarantee as they are highly limited in production numbers and are available for order through the Mint and their authorized sellers.
High-grade examples of silver proof eagles that have been certified by third-party coin evaluators such as NGC and PCGS will almost always cost much more than average uncirculated silver eagles. It is reasonable to say that nearly all high-grade silver eagles and proof silver eagle coins are valued more fittingly to the coin collector and investor public, rather than the silver market.
One additional manner of investing in silver eagle coins is by buying tubes that each include twenty coins factory sealed from the United States Mint. You may often acquire the coins at a pretty good discount when shopping this way, as buying the tubes instead of buying the coins separately through a bulk rate reduction. When sent out from the Mint, each tube comes in a semi-translucent casing with a top that features an official marking by the United States Mint.
