Question by Beachboy: What is the best year to purchase a American Silver Eagle?
Lately I have been very interested in investing in silver. Gold seems like its way to pricey for just one ounce, but silver seems like its perfect, especially for the "average joe." Although, I am not completely sure what the difference between bullion silver and numismatic silver. I purchased a very pristine looking 1883-0 Morgan Silver dollar the other day. Doing my research I believe this would fit into the category of a numismatic coin due to how it looks, when it was made and i'm sure of a whole lot of other stuff. Correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure it has 90% silver as well. Now if I want to be an investor in silver, would buying an American Silver Eagle, or other silver coins be best because they contain 99.9993% silver? I would think so, what do you think??

For a new silver investor, what would be specific silver that I could invest in without having to worry if it would ever be seized like what happened with fort knox??

Also, if buying coins like an American Silver Eagle, what would be the best year to purchase it at?

As much info you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!

Answer by Scott Stevenson
You are absolutely right--the Morgan dollar (and essentially all our silver coins made before 1965) is 90% silver.

If you're looking to buy ASE's just for their silver value, then you'd want to stay away from the proofs, which are prettier, but carry a premium, and a couple of years that have a numismatic premium on them. I've got a link at the bottom that should take you to a page by PCGS that shows the expected prices for coins that they've certified. Since silver is about .50/ounce today, you'd want ones that are around to bucks, which allows for the dealer to make a little profit. Anything more than that, and you're no longer buying for just the silver.

An alternative to buying ASE's would be to look at "junk silver"; pre-1965 silver coins that don't have any numismatic premium attached to them. You typically buy them by face value, and figure about .75 ounces of silver per dollar face value. Once nice thing is that while they don't have any numismatic value, you often get an interesting mix of coins, maybe even some of the Barber coinage from the turn of the 20th century. If you're worried about confiscation, you can always buy a couple of folders, and make it look like a coin collection.

Question by doc4life29: Why are my silver eagle coins browning on the edges on both sides?
Just bought some. When I got them they were real nice silver. In just a few minutes one started to brown on the front near the sides. What happened and is there anything I can do to unbrown the coin?

Best answer:

Answer by Deric T
if you bought the coins uncirculated then the oils from your hand or the materials that you might have used to protect the coins would have caused this. Do not worry; in fact, sometimes this browning effect can prove that the coins have been uncirculated. However, if you do not want the browning to be on the coins the www.littletoncoin.com has cleaning solutions. If you bought the coins as proofs, you should send them back and next time do not touch them; they are very valuable.

Question by jason g: why is american silver eagle coins more expensive than the silver bullion on monex.com..?

and which one will you rather buy coins or the silver bars..? (for me is coins for storage)

Best answer:

Answer by wildbirdie
The bars are just bulk silver. What they look like doesn't matter. The coins have a higher manufacturing cost.

Question by Shanizzel: Are silver american eagle coins good as an investment?
I'm not talking about investing hundreds of dollars on them. What I am saying is, you hear a lot of people saying a today isn't going to be worth as much later right? Well if I were to purchase a Silver American Eagle coin this year, would the or so dollars spent on it be better served that way or just being saved at home.

They could be worth millions 25 to 30 years down the line....

Question by vanbadiwal: What is a one ounce proof silver bullion American Eagle worth? I have 1986 and 1987 coins.?

Best answer:

Answer by greg b
Silver is at 20.10 an ounce

The Silver eagle market is around 22$ for a regular date - so thats the bear minimum.

All silver eagles are uncirculated so quality is prob not an issue for you, if they are still in their original case from the mint they are probably ms 67- to ms 69.

Both of your coins are around -40.

Hold onto them, silver will probably increase even more as the economy slumps.

Question by richtallent: Why are Silver Eagle Coins harder to purchase than silver bullion?
I have called Fidelity and Schwab wanting to purchase that specific coin for investment(about 20k worth) and both companies said the coins are not easily purchased. They come available only so often. Bullion can be bought right away.

Best answer:

Answer by JohnGalt
Call some of the major coin dealers, not a stock broker.

But bullion coins are in big demand right now as people globally are worried that the whole financial system will collapse. Premiums on gold coins are 0 or more over spot price. Usually they are about 4%.
