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 DavidFL: Why do American Silver Eagles say on them, yet an ounce of silver is always more than ?

Best answer:

Answer by diogenese19348
The Silver Eagles are worth a dollar legal tender. Of course, anybody using them that way is an idiot for obvious reasons.

The Silver Eagle is the same size and weight as the Morgan and Peace dollars, and they are legal tender also. You don't see anybody spending them as money either.

Question by MT: Will the US Mint ever mint gold and silver eagles again?
For the past few years the US Mint has halted production of Silver and Gold eagles due to high demands in Gold and Silver. Will the US Mint ever return to minting Gold and Silver coins? I can see there is a demand for Gold/Silver but it doesn't seem to be enough demand to discontinue producing these coins. With the demand they may even be able to increase the price and make more money off these coins.

Question by Francis D: How many 2006 Silver Eagles did they make? And how many 2006 W?
How many 2006 and 2006 W Silver Eagles did the US Mint make? Please give separate mintages for both. I am getting confused because there are early releases, 20th anniversary sets, proofs, reverse proofs, and blue labels, black labels, First strikes, early releases, etc etc.

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.

Best answer:

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

A Us Eagle Silver Dollar is worth 1-30 dollars, but it all depends on the condition of the coin.
