Famous Silver Eagle Coins

By George Lapidis

Silver coins form an integral part of any coin collection. The American Silver Eagle Coin Sets are considered 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 linked 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.

Secondly American silver eagle coins have worldwide liquidity which makes them valuable all around the world. Furthermore it has a government guaranteed status which acts as another plus point.

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 new series as they have only been in circulation for twenty years.

When purchasing an American Silver Eagle coins set for your collection you must be aware of the location and date the coins were minted. Also you may be able to get a good comprehension of the value of the coin if you know the mint marks and the finish of the production.

These coins are specifically created and issued for the collectors. They are not meant for circulation in the market. Collectors can directly purchase these collectible coins from the United States 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 set included the American gold coin in one ounce, half ounce, quarter ounce and the tenth coin. This complete set was available at a price lower than 1000 dollars and only 125 sets were produced.

The purity is guaranteed by the fact that the government guarantees the collector through certification. These coins are filled onto the coin press manually by the minters and then they were pasted on special blanks which were burnished to create a unique mint mark for each coin.

With over one 130 million pieces circulating in the market since 1986 today the American Silver Eagle coin is a leading collectors item. It is globally recognized as the bestseller due to the fact that it is made of 100% pure silver guaranteed by the government. - 23212
