Silver Eagle Proof Coins for Collectors
Silver Eagle Proof Coins
The Silver Eagle Proof from the United States Mint is the highly sought-after collectible edition of the American Silver Eagle Coin. When the program was first started in 1986, the Proof Eagle was introduced to the public, initially only made available in a 1-ounce edition that quickly became popular with both |numismatists and silver bullion investors alike. From the time of the commencement of the program, coin has come shipped from the Mint sealed in an air-tight plactic capsule and packaged along with an deluxe hardwood storage and display box, complete with a plush velvet lined interior. An official certificate of authenticity (COA) is also included with every shipment, which reinforces the distinctive nature of these stunning coins and provides the purchaser with a guarantee of authenticity that the coin is indeed 99.9% fine silver mined from sources here in the United States.
The timeless representation of Lady Liberty walking forward purposefully during a sunrise is showcased on the obverse of the silver coin, as she holds aloft laurel and oak branches which stand for the our nation's strength and glory. The featured depiction is almost the the same design that had been used for the United States half dollar that was crafted by Mint sculptor Adolph Weinman. The reverse of the coin treats collectors to the marvelous representation of John Mercanti's eagle, who is shown clutching an olive branch and an arrow tightly in his talons. Read more

Investing in Silver – How to Buy Silver Bullion Coins Under Spot
How would you like to buy silver bullion coins at a discount?
I'm going to tell you about a certain type of coins that you can purchase under the spot price of silver.
Yep. Below cost. The type of silver bullion that I'm referring to are 90% silver coin bags.
You'll often hear 90% silver coin bags referred to as junk silver bags. They aren't really 'junk,' though. This term is simply used to describe a bag of circulated silver coins in average condition. These coins are really only valued for their silver content, not their collectible value.
'Junk silver' bags contain coins that were struck in 1964 or earlier, such as the silver Kennedy half dollars, Roosevelt dimes, and Washington quarters. They are comprised of 90% silver. After 1964, the amount of silver contained in coins was reduced to 40%.
Here's the neat part - the 90% silver bags containing dimes or quarters can be purchased through some dealers for as much as 1% under spot! It's like getting silver on sale! How cool is that?
Yes, the coins will look worn, have nicks, scratches, and show their 40-plus year-old- age. However, keep in mind, it's what inside that counts. And these 'junk silver' coins will usually still contain over 99 percent of their silver content.
So which would you rather have? A newly-minted, pristine American Silver Eagle that costs 9% (at current prices) over spot? Or a bag of 90% silver coins that you can buy for 1% under spot? If you buy the bags, you can get 10% more silver! Amazing, huh?
You can purchase 'junk silver' bags very easily online from any of the larger, reputable dealers or from your local coin shop in various sizes and denominations. Or, you can try one of the popular online auctions sites for even greater savings.
Right now, you can find junk silver coins below spot, with free shipping at: ==>

Does anyone know if the US Mint produced the 1999-00-01-02-03 US State quarters SILVER proof set.?
I am talking of the packaging with the gray eagle, not as a part of the full year set. I can find only the gray eagle packaging from 2004 and up. Thanks!
