One of the most popular and beloved silver coins throughout the world today is the American Eagle silver dollars. Containing 99.999% pure silver the American Eagle is created by the U.S Mint and backed by the United States Government. It's the only silver bullion dollar that is guaranteed by the U.S Government and can also be used as currency. American Eagle Silver dollars contain 1 troy ounce of silver Released in 1986 by the United States Mint, American Eagle Silver dollars are one of the cheapest and easiest ways to own government backed silver

American Eagle Silver dollars were designer based on the popular Walking Liberty coin of the early 1900's. This lovely coins is created at 3 different U.S Mint facilities, one in Philadelphia, one in San Francisco and the last in West Point, New York.

Generally speaking an American Eagle Silver dollar is worth the current price of silver plus a premium depending on the coin. Most American Eagles are not expensive except for a few different variations including the 1995W, of which just over 30,000 were produced. It may fetch as much as a few thousand dollars depending on the venue that it's sold at. Among the years with the highest number of coins produced are coins produced in 1987, 2002 and 2006, which saw around 10 million produced each of these years.

Additional Numismatists Information

There are two types of coins, those bought for their rarity or numismatic value and those bought for their precious metal bullion value. I recommend buying a one troy ounce bullion gold coin because they are much more affordable than numismatics and also for the same price you will get much more gold metal content which is the whole point of buying the coin (gold attracts wealth). Now that we have decided to buy a one troy once bullion coin, there are many selections. There are 22 karat coins and also 24 karat coins. Due to their durability, I recommend buying a 22 karat coin because they are much more resistant to nicks and scratches. The two best 22 karat coins to invest in are South African Krugerrands and US American Eagles. If you decide to go the 24 karat route, US Buffalos and Canadian Maple Leafs are the best choices. All four of these coins are very popular and readily exchangeable at coin dealers all around the world.
