I'm not a coin collector, but these caught my eye, and they've recently become more affordable. I had wanted to invest in precious metals recently and these seemed like a good way to do so without committing to the volatile gold market as the silver fluctuations seemed less drastic. These are individually sealed in plastic sleeves to protect them, which I really like. Obviously these won't be used as legal tender, so the protective sleeve is a must. They can be handled within the sleeves without concern for being marred or scratched as the might be without the sleeve. The price was right as spot-market silver had dropped a bit, and a special deal was offered, so I bought 10 of them. They were selling fast from this seller, too, which told me that I wasn't alone in seeing the value of this offer. There's really nothing to dislike about these, they're beautifully detailed and the luster of the coin is very attractive even within the sleeve. The American Eagle coin is desirable to a lot of people it seems, so they should hold their value as minted coins, not just for the silver content. There are other silver coins, and I've since bought some Koalas (Australian), but I find the American Eagle to be my favorite in the detail of both sides.Read full review
I buy an item because it interest me .I research all the information I can and then I go to one of my trusted sellers. I started buying silver last year and I am still a novice .I do not buy coins for any other reason than the silver content and with this lovely coin I know an ounce is an ounce.I'm not at all skilled in knowing a collectible coin so I leave that to the experts .But I have been so very happy with my silver purchases on line .Each one has proven as great as the other .The silver I have purchased is not only valuable ,it is beautiful and I feel I am putting something away for my child to enjoy .I buy silver with confidence because I do my homework and I tend to stick with what I know and I am learning with every purchase .The other silver I have purchased, like these beautiful coins are part of my legacy to my child and this silver coin is part of our nations history .Read full review
These coins are a great way to start investing in silver and an awesome way to teach my 10 year old daughter on the silver market and all markets. Silver eagles are by far the easiest to re-sell, easiest to identify, and easiest to know your are actually buying .999 silver at a full troy ounce. I do not have to get out my scale to see if a little skimming was going on, or my test kit to see if other metals being added. Great Product.
This is an excellent coin to start collecting for both the young and old. You can't go wrong with 1 troy OZ. silver coins. Just look at what the price of silver is today. The price keeps rising. This is one of the few coins still being minted today, by the US Mint, with almost pure silver. I love it. I am sure you will too.
It is good to have precious metals in your investment portfolio. When I find these at a reasonable price I grab a few. I am investing long term with these as the price is obviously above market bullion value. They make great gifts for children and grand children. A better investment than a savings account. If you are a coin collector you will love the feel and finish of an ounce of real silver. It is a piece of art that has a market value. You can buy and sell like stocks and bonds without a broker.
