American Silver Eagle (Random Year)

1 oz Silver Eagle (Random Year)

As the official bullion coin from the US Mint, the 1 oz American Silver Eagle was created in 1986 to provide investors with a trusted store of value and wealth.

While the annual mintage varies based on investor sales demand, more than 700 million Silver Eagle Coins have been issued since 1986.

On its obverse, the coin features the timeless design adapted from Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty.

The reverse design of Type-1 coins shows a heraldic eagle below 13 small stars. This classic emblem, representing the thirteen original colonies, speaks volumes of America's rich history and unwavering spirit.

The Type-2 coins, minted since mid-2021, have a new reverse design showing a vigilant eagle in flight.

Silver Eagle Prices

Newly minted Silver Eagles are sold to wholesalers at a premium over spot that covers the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution costs for the coins. When dealer's buy from investors, most of those coins end up on the bullion secondary market at a lower price. Secondary market coins are cheaper because the mint premium was already absorbed by the market. 

Secondary Market Silver Eagles

Most Random Year Silver Eagles enter the secondary market through dealer buybacks and investor liquidations. These discount silver eagle coins are offered at a lower premium than current year coins due to seigniorage and fees added by the mint.

The condition of these coins is usually close to BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) condition. Sometimes, these coins show minor signs of handling, such as fingerprints, coin marks, and light scratches. However, the total intrinsic value remains. 

The Silver Eagle has been produced at three mints: the Philadelphia Mint, the San Francisco Mint, and the West Point Mint. These coins are often included in Individual Retirement Account investments. With the Federal Reserve's money printing, it's never been a better time to safeguard your savings with precious metals.
