Building wealth in silver coin collecting is extremely beneficial to many people in a struggling worldwide economy. The price of silver on the stock market has continued to rise despite the tremendous downfall of other markets in the stock trading business.

Silver coins are one of the oldest forms of mass produced form of coinage since the existence of coin currency. It has been used since the time of the ancient Greeks for the exchange of currency for goods and services.

Silver is used in coins because of its low melting temperature and the strength they retain when pressed in to coinage. They have a high value to weight ratio making them valuable in almost any market in any country and culture. They are fungible, meaning that they retain the same value in the same size or weight. Silver will be worth the same value as long as they are the same weight.

The American Silver Eagle coin has been branded the official silver bullion coin in America since the first one was produced in 1986. They are only produced in one troy-ounce in size giving the coin a circulating equivalent of one US dollar. They are affirmed to accommodate one troy once and are made up of 99% silver.

The coin’s obverse design was derived from the “Walking Liberty” design, one of many coin designs by Adolf A. Weinman. It was originally adapted for use on the silver half-dollar. It is one of the most well-known and beloved coins in American currency displaying the image of Lady Liberty walking and displays the text “LIBERTY” and “In God We Trust.”

The opposite side of the coin features the heraldic eagle with a shield on its chest. In the eagle’s left talon, he is holding a bundle of arrows and in the eagle’s right talon, he his holding an olive branch. Atop the eagle are 13 5-pointed stars which represent the original 13 American colonies. This is a 1986 design by John Mercanti.

In addition to the bullion version of the Silver Eagle coins, there are several proof versions that were produced for the specific sale to collectors. These coins have a value in currency, however they are not circulated.

Purchasing silver coins for resale has never been a better idea in a struggling American economy. There are thousands of coin collectors who are willing to pay top dollar for their hobby of coin collecting.
