Silver Bullion For Sale Online

Foremost, silver is a precious metal and coveted commodity with many industrial uses. Buying silver is an easy and affordable method for diversifying a portfolio, as silver has many properties that make it a valuable asset.

Silver has also been used as money for nearly as long as it's been known by humans—some 5,000 years! Yet, the silver supply is finite; there's only so much to go around. Therefore, it can serve as a great investment, often increasing in market value when the economy is weak or when various industries that use silver in large amounts grow in size or scope.

Produced and sold for collectors, silver coins produced by the U.S. Mint are beautiful pieces of art in fine silver. Coins are produced in proof and uncirculated finishes in a variety of options. Silver Bullion Coins provide investors with a convenient and cost effective way to add silver. Jan 31, 2021 Retail sites for silver have been overwhelmed with demand for bars and coins, suggesting the frenzy that roiled commodities markets last week is spilling over into physical assets. One of the best silver coins to own, The Silver American Eagle, is the most popular silver bullion coin in the world today and it has been struck every year since 1986. You can also add world silver coins and silver bars for more diversity. Silver coins represent the easiest and most popular way to invest in precious metals and offer many of the same benefits as gold, but at a much lower cost. Silver also has the added advantage of being both an industrial staple and financial asset, making silver coins one of the most dynamic and reliable ways to hedge against inflation.

Many people wonder if buying silver is a good investment. As a so-called 'safe haven' investment, silver comes in many forms, including coins, rounds, and bars.

You may be asking, 'Should I buy silver bars or coins?' While coins are often the most popular investment because they're widely recognizable and come in many beautiful designs, silver rounds and bars are usually available for lower prices closer to their spot silver price. The spot market price is equal to their intrinsic metal value or melt value.

Among the most popular numismatic silver coins are the widely recognized and collected Morgan and Peace silver dollars struck by the United States Mint during the American Renaissance of coins.

In 1986, the popular and world-renowned American Silver Eagle was first minted. The American Silver Eagles are the official bullion silver coin of the United States. Backed by the US government, the American Silver Eagle is guaranteed .999 pure silver. IRA approved, the American Silver Eagles can be purchased individually or by government-sealed monster boxes of 500 coins.

Design of the American Silver Eagle

The Walking Liberty is one of the most known figures of US currency and is featured on the obverse of every American Silver Eagle. Lady Liberty was first designed for the half dollar in 1916-1947 but since it received such acclaim, the US Mint decided to resurrect the design for their first silver bullion coin collection. Adolph A. Weinman, an American sculptor who was born in Germany, was chosen to design the obverse for the Walking Liberty half-dollar. What he didn't know was how popular his design would remain 40 years later. Weinman's take on Lady Liberty resembles a Grecian god, who is wrapped in a light-weight robe and is delicately fluttering in the wind to enhance her femininity.

The reverse contains the US seal, which is of a large eagle with several different representations. Both of the eagle's talons are holding onto something; the left contains olive branches to represent peach and the other talon is holding arrows to represent warrior. The eagle is covered by a huge shield that indicates that the US will protect its power and 'E Pluribus Unum' is written across the eagle's outstretched wings. The coin's weight and purity is also stamped on the reverse for authentication purposes.

Types of American Silver Eagles

The US Mint has produced 3 types of American Silver Eagles: Brilliant Uncirculated, Proof, and Burnished. The Brilliant Uncirculated and Burnished American Silver Eagles contain the same finish: a frosted, matte surface but the Burnished versions contain the infamous 'W' mint-mark, since they are minted at the West Point Mint. The Proof Silver Eagles stand out, due to their glossy, mirror-like finish. Proof Silver Eagles are also packaged in government-issued presentation boxes with their Certificates of Authenticity.

Certified Silver Eagles

As most coin collectors and numismatists know, a coin can be a considered brilliant uncirculated or proof, but that's just the beginning of identifying a coin's value. Dr. William Sheldon was an American psychologist by trade and a numismatist as a hobby. In 1948, Sheldon developed the Sheldon Numeric Scale, which became the foundation of grading and certifying coins. The Sheldon Numeric Scale dictates that a coin's condition can fall between 1 and 70. Before this groundbreaking system, coins were graded mostly by physical appearance and could receive one of three grades.

There are many coin grading agencies out there but only two that are revered worldwide. The Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) and the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) are two companies that issue coins their grades. These companies not only certify coins, but they also encase the graded coin into an official holder, preserving the coin and marking the holder with its earned grade. This alone has changed the coin collecting game, while also offering a peace of mind for collectors and investors.

When purchasing a Certified American Silver Eagle, there is information provided on the coin holder that is important to know. The first thing to notice is the coin's strike type:

  • MS: Short for 'Mint-State;' refers to coins that have never been in circulation and are the same condition as when they were originally produced. Mint State coins will receive a grade ranging from 60-70 on the Sheldon Numeric Scale.
  • PF/PR: Abbreviation for 'Proof;' refers to the method of coin manufacture, made for eye appeal among collectors.
  • SP: A 'specimen' coin is a combination of strike type (somewhere in the middle of Mint State and Proof).

A Certified American Silver Eagle (or any certified bullion coin) will most likely come in one of two grades:

  • MS/PF70: Bullion coins that have kept their original mint luster and contain zero post production flaws.
  • MS/PF69: Bullion coins that contain 2 or less minute imperfections but still carry their original mint luster.

Other certification terms often used for bullion coins:

  • First Strike: PCGS term designates coins that have been certified within the first 30 days of production by the contributing mint.
  • Early Release: NGC term designates coins that have been certified within the first 30 days of production by the contributing mint.
  • UCAM/DCAM: Shortened for Ultra-Cameo and Deep-Cameo, these terms refer to the coin's visual brilliance that is apparent on the surface by an unyielding, frosted finish and a deeply mirrored background luster.
