The American Silver Eagle coin has become one of the most highly regarded silver bullion coins in the world today. First issued through the United States Mint in'86, the American Silver Eagle has also become the certified bullion silver coin of the United States of America.
The obverse shows Adolph A. Weinman's striking walking liberty design first used on the United Stated Half-Dollar beginning'16 to'47. The reverse design displays the John Mercanti version of an eagle grasping a shield, emblematic of our nation's pride.
Collector's Proof editions of the American Silver Eagle are put out by the United States Mint and are created through a specialized process using burnished coin blanks that are placed manually through the coin presses which have been outfitted with customized dies. The coin is pressed several times so the gently frosted, yet highly-detailed images seem to hover above a mirror-like background.
The proof coins are then thoroughly inspected for any flaws and then positioned inside of a hard-plastic case for safety. Each coin is then placed inside of an attractive velvet presentation case that has been lined in satin. A Certificate of Authenticity is also included, to verify it's origin as being from the United States Mint. As American Silver Proof Eagles are produced by the U.S. Mint, each coin's weight, content and purity are assured by the Government of The United States. They are the only silver coins that can hold this kind of guarantee as they are highly limited in production quantities and are offered for order through the United states mint and their authorized brokers.
You will come to find that third-party certified high-grade examples of silver proof eagles tend to cost a great deal more than standard uncirculated silver eagle coins. It is reasonable to state that most high-grade proof silver eagles and silver eagle coins are valued more accordingly to the coin collector and investor market, more readily than the bullion 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. - 31405
