American Silver Eagles - A Treasured Coin
Out of all the precious metals, silver has historically been the most affordable of them all. The year 2008 showed a strong want for silver and that has continued into 2009. Because of this strong demand for silver, the American Silver Eagles has enjoyed a huge surge increase in demand and the prices are reflecting as such.
American Silvers Eagles are a coin that was first released back on November 24,'86 by the Mint of the United States. These are officially the silver bullion coin of the U. S. These coins are authorized by Congress. The weight and purity of these coins come with a guarantee from the U. S. Government. Each of these coins is guaranteed to have 1 troy ounce of 99. 9% silver. Each coin has a thickness of 2. 98 mm.
The design that is used on the American Silver Eagle is a design that has been used in the past. From'16 -'47, a half dollar has a design on it called "Walking Liberty" by Adolph A. Weinman. This design became so famous and so loved that when the American Silver Eagle was being designed, it was decided to use the "Walking Liberty" image again. The original design has been used ever since.
Three different mints are responsible for producing the Silver Eagles. Each separate mint has their own stamp that is placed on the coins making it able to be known where they were created. The San Francisco Mint shows the "S" mint mark, the West Point, NY Mint shows the "W" mint mark and the Philadelphia Mint uses the "P" mint mark.
These coins, if they were to be used as currency, have a monetary value of one dollar. They are worth much more than that though. The condition of your coin, the grade coin and the year is was minted will all play into what the coin is worth. On the stock market, the values are calculated on the market value of silver with and additional cost to cover minting and distribution charges.
