TheHelpfuldad discusses US Silver Eagles. This is NOT investment advice, just my personal opinion, please rely on your own investment judgement or consult your investment advisor.
American Silver Eagle coins were authorized by Congress in 1985, and first minted in 1986 as the official silver bullion coin of the United States. Silver Eagles are one troy ounce of .999 fine silver. Often considered one of the most beautiful coins ever minted, the Silver Eagle’s design is based on A.A. Weinman’s “Walking Liberty,” introduced on the 1917 silver half-dollar. An eagle and shield, displaying American strength and pride, backs this moving scene of freedom. As America’s official silver bullion coin, the Silver Eagle coin’s weight, content and purity are guaranteed by the U.S. Government. They also qualify for inclusion in your Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA). Gold prices and silver prices continuously update to reflect market prices.
