About the American Silver Eagle
The American Silver Eagle is the official silver bullion coin of the United States. It was first minted in 1986 after the Liberty Coin Act was passed the previous year. It is popular in the United States and integral to the global precious metals market. Its beauty, government backing, and purity make it a favored choice among investors and collectors.
The American Silver Eagle coin is made with 1 troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver and has a $1 denomination backed by the U.S. government. It is alloyed with copper to improve its durability, giving it a total weight of 31.103 grams with .999 fine silver. The coin displays Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty design on the obverse. In 2021, the U.S. Mint updated the reverse to a bald eagle landing on a branch, designed by Emily Damstra — the design carried forward on the 2022 issue.
NGC Certified Silver Eagles
NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) is a pillar in coin grading and authentication. An NGC-graded coin means owning a piece backed by a guaranteed assessment of condition and authenticity. NGC's expert team carefully evaluates each Silver Eagle, and their encapsulation preserves the coin's condition over time.
NGC's unique designations include First Day of Issue and Early Release. A coin designated First Day of Issue is released from the mint on the first day of the launch. Early Release coins are shipped within the first thirty days of the release date.
Grading Scale
The grading of Silver Eagles is a critical aspect for collectors and investors. The Sheldon Scale, ranging from 1 (poorest) to 70 (perfect), is the standard for grading coins. American Eagle silver coins graded MS-70 are flawless, with no blemishes. MS-69 are just below, showing only minor imperfections under close observation.
