The United States Silver Eagle coin was introduced to the
public on November 24, 1986. Since then the United States
Mint has created over 180 million Silver Eagle coins to
exacting one ounce .999 fine silver specifications. The
Silver Eagle coin has its one oz weight and 99.9% silver
purity fully backed by the United States Government.
During precious metal shortages, government backed
bullion, like Silver Eagle coins, often develop high
premiums because of their reliability and their high
recognition by the general public.
Sealed
Silver Eagle mint
cases, also known within the
industry as monster boxes, contain 500 Silver Eagle coins
weighing 1 ounce each. The sealed mint case contains 25
tubes of 20 Silver Eagle coins per tube. These tubes have a
fail-safe design that makes it nearly impossible to load an
incorrect number of Silver Eagles. The Silver Eagle Mint
case is kept sealed by two flat plastic straps with the name
of the mint where they were created printed on the straps.
Inside the Silver Eagle Mint case there is an audit slip
signed and dated by a person representing the United States
Mint.
One of the reasons why the United States Silver Eagle
coin has become the most popular bullion coin in the world
is because of its beauty. The Silver Eagle is often
considered one of the most beautiful coins ever minted. The
Silver Eagle coin has the famous design of the "Walking
Liberty" on the obverse side of the coin. Adolph A. Weinman
designed this in 1916. The Walking Liberty design was
originally used on the American half-dollar and was revived
for the use on the US Silver Eagle coin. On the reverse side
of the Silver Eagle coin is the Heraldic Eagle with a shield
that signifies American strength; John Mercanti designed the
American Silver Eagle in 1986.
The investment liquidity of the American Silver Eagle
coin is astounding. Aside from the Silver Eagle coin being
legal tender in the United States, officially worth one US
dollar, their design and government backing makes them
convertible into currency worldwide.
American Silver Eagle coins are stored in tubes of 20,
each tube of Silver Eagles weighs approximately one and a
half pounds apiece.
