INTRODUCTION

Since antiquity, silver has been one of the most prized precious metals

AMERICAN EAGLE SILVER BULLION COINS

American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins are affordable investments, beautiful collectibles, thoughtful gifts and memorable incentives or rewards. Above all, as legal tender, they are the only silver bullion coins whose weight and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government. They are also the only silver coins allowed in an IRA.

Silver has historically been the most affordable precious metal. Since 1986, the United States has minted one-dollar silver coins called "Silver Eagles". Each contains a minimum of one troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver.

Each Silver Eagle is a work of art meticulously crafted to the exacting standards of the United States Mint. The design is based on the Adolph A. Weinman's 1916 "Walking Liberty" half-dollar, widely considered one of the more beautiful American coins ever minted.

Silver Eagles are easy to buy and sell. Prices are based on the market price of silver, plus a small premium to cover minting and distribution costs. Call us today at 800-527-5307 for current market price or visit our Live Precious Metals Quote web page.

Affordability, Credibilty, Beauty. These are the qualities that have made the American Silver Eagle Bullion Coins the world's best selling silver coins, with more than 60 million sold since 1986.
