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 depicts Adolph A. Weinman's stunning walking liberty design originally used on U.S. Silver Half Dollars beginning'16 to'47. The reverse design is the John Mercanti version of an eagle and shield, representational of our country's pride and strength.
Proof collector's editions of the Silver Eagle American Coin are put out by the United States Mint and are produced through a specialized process utilizing highly-polished coin blanks which are fed manually into the coin presses that have been outfitted with modified dies. Each coin is then struck numerous times so the softly frosted, yet highly-detailed images appear to float on top of 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.
Another good system of investing in American Silver Eagles is by buying tubes that each consist of twenty factory sealed coins through the U.S. Mint. You may sometimes acquire the coins at a substantial price cut this way, as purchasing the tubes instead of purchasing the coins individually through a bulk rate savings. When sent out by the Mint, each tube comes in a semi-translucent case with a top that has an official marking by the United States Mint. - 32532
