American Eagle Silver Coins

The US Mint has just introduced for 2006 new American eagle silver coins.

These continue to be popular and the 2006 new American eagle silver coins will be no exception.

As per the US Mint

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

“The design is based on Adolph A. Weinman's 1916 "Walking Liberty" half dollar, widely considered one of the most beautiful American coins ever minted.”

All Silver Eagles are easy to buy and sell and prices are based on the market price of silver, plus a small premium to cover minting and distribution costs. You will find them available at most reputable coin dealers.

Also available from the US Mint is a highly collectible proof version of the American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin

A collection of American eagle silver coins makes an excellent long term investment for silver and coin collectors.
