When the most recent American Silver Eagle Proof was released late this past year, on November 19, 2010, it could be purchased for .95 through the U.S. Mint. Each and every household was strictly limited to buying a total number of one hundred coins.

Public demand ended up being very strong, to say the least!

In the first hrs subsequent to the coins release, the U.S. Mint suffered a variety of difficulties by clients who tried to buy from the website or even utilizing their toll-free number.

The proof silver eagle ended up being sold out by the end of December, having sold out quickly.

834,879 coins were purchased based on the most current sales record from the U.S. Mint!

Taking into consideration the fact that the premium that you pay is considerably above the actual spot price of silver, you might question the reason why the desire with regard to these coins is so high.

Were the proof versions really worth the extra amount you pay out?

I resolved to do a little investigating. . .

To start with, let's examine precisely what tends to make this specific coin so exceptional.

1. Each and every coin is composed of exactly one ounce. of .999 fine silver.

2. If you glance carefully at one, you will observe immediately their particular astonishing splendour, extremely sharp relief, as well as a backdrop which is nearly mirror-like. They have a unique cameo effect due to their frosted, sculpted foregrounds.

3. To realize all of this fantastic splendor, the silver eagle proof coin is actually created by way of a specialised minting practice.

4. All this commences when a burnished silver coin blank is pressed, and then fitted together with unique dies.

5. So as to supply the detailed images the sensation of floating above a reflective field, it is then struck numerous times.

6. After careful inspection, the coins are ultimately sealed inside a protective plastic capsule.

7. Finally, they're placed inside a stunning presentation case that's covered in blue velvet. Inside, the case is lined with satin and includes an authenticity certificate that's signed by the Director of the U.S. Mint.

Thus all that additional manufacturing expense, time, labour, energy, etc. is factored into the price of the proof eagle. That is the reason for the excess premium.

Additionally it is important to note the fact that proof type has never been handled by human hands and that is the reason why they are so highly sought after and are valued at more than their own common bullion counterpart.

And so now we know the real reason for the additional premium. Nonetheless, are the American Eagle Silver Eagle proofs worth the excess price?

Recently, I did some research on the well-known auction site, eBay, to attempt to ascertain the recent selling prices for the the year 2010 Silver Eagle Proofs.

Exactly what I learned was the fact that sell amount varied, depending upon the particular grade belonging to the coin -- whether or not it was PCGS PR70 First Strike or PR69, and so forth. At the time this particular article was written, the typical selling price seemed to be around .00.

That's an increase of greater than 30 % since their November 19th launch date. (Please note: the price of silver might have risen or declined during the time you might be reading this write-up and so existing auction prices might be much more or less, depending upon the spot price of silver).

Let's say, you'd purchased a regular bullion silver eagle on the exact same time frame, using the ending price of .35. You would now have a gain of only 9.69%!

It is also fascinating to take note that special edition silver proof coins like the 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle and also the 2006 Reverse Proof are usually valued at even more!

The crisis of free banking that resulted in the American Civil War brought the conclusion of that silver standard. Silver coins were no longer minted by then when the succeeding financial crises of the World War plus the Depression required paper currency with gold reserves to back them up as a solid foundation. However, by 1933, the floundering economy required Congress to change the gold standard to silver for the first time in American history. This was kept set until 1968, when it was common practice in the U.S. Treasury, not the Federal Reserve, to allow people to redeem silver dollars and silver bullion for silver certificates.

Silver wasn't part of normal circulation again until the 1980s, when the Defense National Stockpile found it had an more than enough silver and asked for Congressional approval to sell it. So during the term of President Ronald Reagan, the very first silver coins in decades - the American Silver Eagles - were minted in 1986. They were first minted in San Francisco from 1986 - 1992, thus earning them the mintmark "S." Afterward, they were minted inside the Philadelphia press for the following 7 years and given the "P" mark. From 2001 to today, they were minted at West Point and have the "W" mintmark. The most awaited coin of this decade, the 2010 Proof Silver Eagle, has made a record in sales of silver bullion coins. After rocky starts from January 2010, the expected shortage of coins pushed the minting and subsequent sales to November 19, 2010. Impressively priced at .95 each, one household was given a maximum allowance of 1 hundred coins from the United States Mint.
