US Silver Eagle Coins

By George Lapidis

Silver coins form an integral part of any coin collection. The American Silver Eagle Coin Sets are valued as special because they are of the largest size available in the market and made of the purest grade of silver in the history of the United States.

There are a number of other aspects associated with silver eagle coins that add to their value. First of all their size is such that they are easily portable. Hence you can carry your collection around with you.

Since the Silver Eagle coin collection is recognized all over the world it has instant liquidity, and they are valuable on over the world. Another advantage of this collection is that they have government guaranteed status.

Although collectors value silver eagle coins the question is how you compare their uniqueness and worth with other special collectible coins. This is because silver eagle coins are not antique.

On the contrary they are quite a young series as they have only been in circulation for twenty years.

Individuals interested in adding silver eagle coins to their collections need to be aware of the place where they were minted and when they were minted. You also need to know about the available mint marks and have a good comprehension of the coin finishes.

The Silver Eagle coin collection is available only for collectors and not meant for market circulation and trading. They can be purchased directly from the US mint.

In the early years of silver eagle coins the uncirculated coins were not available for sale from the mint. Rather they could only be purchased from certified coin dealers and precious metal firms.

This is perhaps one of the most sought after silver eagle coins by collectors. The 1955 silver eagle is part of the first limited edition set of coins. The set also had the 1995-W Proof American Silver Eagle which was not available by itself in the market.

The one ounce American gold eagle combined with the half, quarter and tenth were also included in the set. The set was available in the market for less than a grand with only 125 sets minted in total.

The government guarantee further enhances the value of these coins as the originality of the coins is guaranteed by the government certification. The minters manually filled the coin into the coin press and special blanks were burnished to create a unique mint mark for each of the coins.

Today the American silver eagle is credited as being the best selling silver coin collection of the world. Over 130 million have been sold since 1986 each one made from 100% pure silver guaranteed for by the sate. - 23199
