Silver Eagle Proof » Silver Updates http://silvereagleproof.com Silver Eagle Proof Coins Thu, 06 May 2010 03:09:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 2010 American Silver Eagles http://silvereagleproof.com/2010/05/2010-american-silver-eagles/ http://silvereagleproof.com/2010/05/2010-american-silver-eagles/#comments Thu, 06 May 2010 03:05:12 +0000 theincrediblepulp http://silvereagleproof.com/?p=378 By mid-2010, American Silver Eagles have surpassed the 11 million mark, setting a record for the first four months of the year. In April alone, figures topped out at 2,170,000. Although April 2010 sales are forecast to dip below last year's record setting numbers, interest remains incredibly strong with collecting and investor continuing to grow.

With the increased demand for American Silver Eagles, there has been a concurrent rise in interest for American Proof Silver Eagle Proof coins. Proof Silver Eagle coins are a collectible version of the silver bullion coin released by the United States Mint. In the past, Proof coins have sold out quickly soon after release, and with only a limited number of coins in production each year, that could happen again this year.

The model for the obverse of the U.S. Mint's bullion and proof Silver Eagle is one of the most popular of American patterns, the Walking Liberty Silver Half-Dollar. This wonderful design shows Lady Liberty, covered in Old Glory and bearing laurel and oak branches as she steps proudly forward into a new day. "LIBERTY" is proudly stamped along the top of the Proof Silver Eagle and "IN GOD WE TRUST" is emblazoned near Liberty's calf.

The reverse of the Proof Silver Eagle has an American eagle with the heraldic shield holding an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other, as designed by John Mercanti. Just above the eagle is an upside down pyramid and 13 stars, each star representing one of the original 13 colonies. The eagle is surrounded by the words, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - 1 OZ FINE SILVER - ONE DOLLAR".

Only the best dies are employed in a very stringent procedure to produce the Proof American Eagle coins. The presses are fed manually, where the beautiful coin blanks are struck several times, providing a clean and crisp image. The process generates a pattern that seems to be lightly frosted across a brilliant mirror surface, so that each Proof Silver Eagle has its own unique appearance.

Your Proof Silver Eagle coin is carefully shipped in a stunning, midnight blue velvet protective case (shown right), complete with a Certificate of Authority from the United States Mint. The certificate guarantees the silver content, weight and purity of each Proof Silver Eagle, as assured by the United States government.

Well look at the price and the link. I would like to know how to check what design coin I have? They have numbers for design in the 60s a higher 60 like 67 is worth a lot more right?

http://www.pcgs.com/prices/PriceGuideDetail.aspx?MS=1&PR=1&SP=1&c=31&title=Ike+Dollar

I came across this on here also

The only dollar coins made in 1971 were the following, the non silver circulation strike copper/nickel Eisenhower dollars. Ike on the obverse and an eagle on the moon reverse. These still show up today at banks and are worth a dollar. There were special made 40% silver uncirculated dollars from the mint that came in a blue envelope they have an S mint mark and the 40% Proof Ike's that came in a brown box also S mint mark. if your coin has an S mint mark it is 40% silver if not then it is not silver. The silver Ike's sell for around $5 to $6. The mint mark if any is above the date. Hope this helps

One or the other is wrong... Silver Ikes sell for 5 to 6 but he is not talking about the different styles that are worth more.

The actual Morgan Silver Dollar used in the clip was part of my friends deceased father collection, but when I inherited my own collection of coins from my grandmother I used her coin instead. The clip broke and I am now on the hunt for another one. They aren't so easily replaced, but I found two online sites with two different options. One option is 18 dollars and it is a nickel plated brass and the other option is for 38 and it is sterling silver. Now the old clip is stamped with a mark that reads STER and next to that is what looks like a circle with the letter F or P in it. Does this mean that the old clip was Sterling Silver? My real dilemma here is that I liked the clip so much that I thought I would buy two of them, one for the same Morgan Silver Dollar and a slightly larger one for a Silver Eagle. I have a super clean and very shinny Proof that I was thinking of putting into the larger clip if I decide to buy it. So if I go Sterling Silver then I am looking at 90 dollars or so for both of them. My real question, is besides the material differences, what's the differences between these two types of metals? I get Sterling Silver is a precious metal. If the clip I have now is sterling silver which the stamp STER probably indicates that it is, I can attest to the fact that they nick up and dull rather easily. Do the Nickel plated brass ones do this too? Is the nickel version of this clip simply a cheap option or would there actually be an aesthetic reason to buy this over the sterling versions. I'm thinking that nickel might not tarnish to easily and would stay shinny as well, then again what do I know. Advise please appreciated. Thanks

I have been buying my Niece the Silver Eagle proof coin from the U.S. Mint every year. I have been getting her other things too, like toys and such. But I really enjoy getting her the coin.
My Nephew is a new arrival and I was named his Godmother. I don't want to get him the same coin, yet I want to keep it in the same price range, about 40.00.
I would like the gift to be similar to the coin, something that comes out once a year and will hopefully appreciate in value.

If anyone out there has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks!
