Today, there is a growing interest in American Silver Dollars which is a trend seen that is increasing where the value of US Dollar continues to decline. There has been huge demand recently for these silver eagles; and notice that people are not buying these seriously and for the long term. Basing on this current trend for the people’s interest; there will probably be a good increase in the value of silver dollars.

This year, the 2011 proof silver eagles will be available for sale. This can be bought from authorized distributors and select coin dealers by the middle part of January. These are sure to be hot sales as seen from the records where sales during the month of November 2010 broke numerous records. There is no other month in the coin's history that has seen greater sales than this including December of 1986, when the coin was available for sale to the public.

If you are still wondering whether investing in the 2011 American Silver Eagle still makes since when the price of the silver today is only $30 an ounce, many people are on the positive side. Here are some reasons why it is good to invest in this silver coin:

1. This is the only silver coin that is allowed to be added in your retirement account therefore it is good to add them to your IRA.

2. The silver bullion coins, with its silver purity, weight and content are guaranteed by the U.S. government. Upon purchase of a silver eagle, you can be sure that you are getting one ounce of pure silver guaranteed at 99.9%.

3. The silver coins are highly recognized everywhere and are therefore sold easily. Buying or selling these coins from online dealers or local coin shops is no trouble at all.

4. When selling these coins, there is no need to report the sale to the IRS, unlike with doing it with some precious metals. There is no need to worry because no matter how many coins you sell, you'll be able to skip most of the time-consuming tax forms that often need to be filed when selling other types of investments.

5. With the price of silver trading now at $30 an ounce, think of the profit you can make like when the price of silver closed at $16.99 an ounce in December of 2009.

Nobody knows what the price of silver will become in 2011. But judging from the current factors that made the metal interesting and attractive in 2010, such as weak US dollar value, investor demand, inflation and recession worries and uncertainty about the global financial system; this will probably increase in value.

Buying the beautiful 2011 American Silver Eagle Coin, or 2011 Proof Silver Eagle should end up being a smart investment in 2011. Now is the time to place your order because the U.S. Mint is limiting the allocation of 2011 Silver American Eagles to distributors.

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.
