When you invest in silver, choose the bullion coins that feature the very symbol of our nation’s freedom – the American eagle. Choose American Eagle Silver Coins, the number one silver bullion coins in the world, from the United States Mint.

Investing in Silver Eagles increases your portfolio’s diversity. They bring balance, because their value often moves independently of stocks and bonds. They offer liquidity, meaning they’re easy to buy and sell. And in this fast-paced world of electronic investing, Silver Eagles are tangible investments whose beauty and artistry you can literally enjoy in the palm of your hand. Available in four denominations, they sell at a variety of prices – smaller sizes also make affordable, thoughtful gifts.

American Eagle Silver Coins

Authorized by Congress in 1985 and first minted in 1986, American Eagle Silver Coins are .999 fine silver, the finest silver coins ever issued by the United States. Each coin contains a full troy ounce of silver, plus a minute amount of copper, which is added to increase the coin's durability and to help resist scratching and marring.

Government Guarantee

American Eagle Silver coins are America’s only official investment-grade silver bullion coins. They’re the world’s only silver bullion coins whose weight, content and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government. So like the dollar, American Eagles are welcome in major investment markets worldwide. You can even include them in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

Portfolio Diversification

Many investment experts believe that adding silver to your portfolio may improve its performance. That’s because the forces that determine silver's price usually differ from and in many cases counter the forces that determine the price of many financial assets. Investment advisors often suggest that this relationship may help to reduce portfolio volatility. Silver Eagles are the easy, convenient and affordable way to add silver to your portfolio.

Easy to Buy and Sell

One measure of an investment is liquidity: How easily can it be converted into cash? Silver Eagles, with their unique U.S. Government backing, can be sold for cash at most coin and precious metals dealers worldwide. They’re also legal tender. Their face values are largely symbolic, because silver's market price – which is reported in the market pages and web sites of major newspapers – has historically been higher.
