American Silver Eagles are offered in 1 oz silver coin sizes by a network of local and online silver coin dealers throughout the world. The Silver American Eagle Coin is considered by many silver bullion industry experts as perhaps the best silver coin selection in the physical silver bullion market.

American Silver Eagle Coin features:

  • Guaranteed to contain 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver bullion.

  • USA legal tender with a $1 USD face value (silver dollar).

  • Generally bought and sold with a price premium over the silver spot price.

  • May ship either in protective flips, US Mint Tubes of 20, or in sealed US Mint Box of 500 coins.

  • Confidentially shipped to your door or to your non-bank Silver Storage Account.

  • Also eligible for Silver IRA or Silver RSP investments.

 

American Silver Eagle Coin history

The US Mint began striking the American Silver Eagle coin in 1986. The Silver Eagle coin remains the official silver bullion coin of the United States of America. 

Since its inception, over 500,000,000 ounces of Silver American Eagle coins have been purchased by investors and coin collectors around the world.

The U.S. government guarantees each American Silver Eagle coin contains the stated .999 fine silver weight in troy ounces. The USA’s Secret Service enforces the government’s American Silver Eagle coin guarantee.

 

Silver Coin Prices

American Silver Eagle Coins generally receive the highest buy and sell prices amongst all the modern high mintage silver bullion coins issued today.

When physical silver supplies cannot properly meet demand, the premium or price per Silver Eagle coin over the silver spot price can increase sharply (e.g. 2008 Financial Crisis silver coin shortage).

These official American silver coins have low $1 US silver dollar legal tender face values. This assures they will not circulate nor compete with Federal Reserve Notes (more commonly referred to as US dollars). 

In the silver bullion market, silver coin prices are based on overall weight and the fluctuating silver spot price. 

 

Higher Silver Coin Price

American Silver Eagle coins are the most popular government minted silver bullion coins in terms of overall sales volumes. These silver coins also demand some of the silver bullion industry’s highest silver bid prices (the price silver dealers are buying these silver coins back at).

In general, online silver dealers pay a price above the fluctuating silver spot price when buying Silver Eagle coins back from investors. This is often not the case with other less popular silver bullion coins.

 

Higher Silver Eagle Coin Price

The American Silver Eagle coin also demands the highest silver ask price amongst other competing high mintage government silver bullion coins like the Canadian Maple Leaf coin or Australia’s Perth Mint Kangaroo Silver coin.

In summation, a Silver American Eagle coin’s price per ounce will usually be both higher when (1) buying and (2) selling them compared to other competing highly sold government minted silver coins.

 

American Silver Eagle Coin Design

The American Silver Eagle’s front or obverse features a throwback to the “Walking Liberty" coin design by Adolph Weinman.

The silver coin’s front design was originally struck on the U.S.A.’s Walking Liberty Half Silver Dollars Coin which was one of the many various 90% silver quarters, dimes, and other coin designs struck and circulated in the USA until 1965.

On this modern 1 oz American Silver Eagle coin we find Lady Liberty carrying branches of laurel and oak with the United States flag draped over her shoulders. The year of strike and the word ‘LIBERTY’ and ‘IN GOD WE TRUST’ are also engraved on the front of this most popular modern silver bullion coin.

The American Silver Eagle coin back side or obverse design is by John Mercanti. The back of the coin is struck with the depiction of an eagle behind a shield. The eagle holds an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other talon. There are also 13 five-pointed stars representing U.S.A.’s original Thirteen Colonies.

This silver coin obverse is also minted with the phrases ‘UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’ and ‘1 OZ. FINE SILVER~ONE DOLLAR’. The Latin “E PLURIBUS UNUM’ (meaning: out of many, one) is also struck on the banner that the eagle holds from its beak on the back of this modern silver bullion coin.

Why buy Silver Coins?

Since the beginning of the 21st Century, there has been a general increase in silver prices in virtually all currencies with record numbers of silver coins being sold to the investing public.

During and following the 2008 Financial Crisis, the trend of online silver dealers selling silver coins, silver rounds, and silver bullion bars to the investing public has dramatically increased as well.

It has become quite common for investors to buy silver coins in order to better diversify risks to their wealth. American Silver Eagle Coins are often bought for Silver IRAs, Silver RSPs, and to diversify one’s investment portfolio.
