The Silver Eagle is the official silver bullion coin of the United States. The U.S. Mint began producing the Silver Eagle in 1986, and in addition to the bullion version, the Mint has issued an uncirculated proof version for collectors. The 99.9% pure Silver Eagle has a face value of one dollar; however, its market value is significantly higher. The obverse of the coin features the iconic “Walking Liberty” design, while the reverse depicts a heraldic eagle behind a shield. At DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we purchase certified American Silver Eagles directly from customers.
Silver Eagles are graded to determine quality, which is critical when we assess their value for purchase. Grading identifies the rarity, appeal, and liquidity of the coin, while certification assures our team that the coin’s condition is genuine. Coins are evaluated on five main factors: strike, surface, preservation, luster, and eye appeal. Conditions range from Good, with only 10 percent of the design visible, to Mint State, which retains 100 percent of the design and full luster. Coins are also assigned a numerical grade from 1 to 70, with 1 being barely recognizable and 70 being flawless.
While the official face value of the American Silver Eagle is one dollar, its intrinsic value is determined by silver content and the spot price. Rarity and condition also influence its market value, with uncirculated coins commanding premiums. Millions of American Silver Eagles are sold and resold yearly, and DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS purchases them from collectors and investors seeking secure, fair transactions. Silver is widely used as a hedge against inflation, currency devaluation, and market uncertainty.
The American Silver Eagle is highly sought after by collectors for several reasons:
Two major U.S. coin grading companies certify Silver Eagles: Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). These companies are recognized as the leading authorities in the industry.
PCGS is one of the most trusted grading services in the industry. They offer programs such as “First Strike,” Secure Plus, and standard grading, along with high-quality coin photography and special label options. Their stackable plastic holders include anti-counterfeiting features such as a holographic emblem, ensuring secure certification for coins we purchase.
NGC is the world’s largest third-party coin grading service and the official grading partner of the Professional Numismatists Guild and the American Numismatic Association. NGC also grades ancient coins. Each coin is examined by at least two professional numismatists to ensure accurate grading. Like PCGS, NGC coins include anti-counterfeiting and photography measures.
Proof coins are uncirculated and therefore typically have a higher value than circulated bullion. They are preserved in cases or folders, maintaining their appearance and quality. When certified by PCGS or NGC, proof coins carry a certificate of authenticity verifying their condition and value.
