Collecting 1986 American Eagle

 

When it comes to buying uncirculated 1986 American Eagle, most silver stackers won't pay more than a few dollars over spot, but I've happily paid up to $40 above spot for an uncirculated coin. Is it possible that I'm delusional?

1986 American Eagle are my favorite collectible coins. See, American Silver Eagles, both uncirculated and bullion, aren't simply silver coins for investors any more. People collect and preserve them in coin albums and folders according to the date they were issued.

The way I collect American Silver Eagles is in the same manner.

Why do silver bullion coin collectors exist? Silver eagles appeal to me for a number of reasons, the most important of which are as follows:

The design of the American Silver Eagle coin is among the most beautiful in the world.

Adolph A. Weinman designed the Walking Liberty image on the obverse of all American Silver Eagle coins struck between 1916 and 1947. Walking Liberty half dollars are among the most aesthetically pleasing silver coins in circulation today. It's no surprise that Weinman's Walking Liberty design graced the new bullion currency when the United States Mint launched the American Silver Eagle in 1986.

There Are Few Difficulties in Collecting Silver Eagle Coins

There's no doubt about it: the American Silver Eagle coinage is in plentiful supply. Almost all dates back to 1986 may be found at your local coin shop. If your local coin store does not have a certain date, I can almost promise you'll locate it quickly and easily online. Even the rarest uncirculated ASE from 1996, the American Silver Eagle, is readily accessible. Due to its rarity, this particular date in the American Silver Eagle series will cost more than others.

ASEs include a significant amount of silver value, according to rule #3.

Collecting American Silver Eagles is enticing not only because of the stunning design, but also because each piece includes an ounce of real silver in its composition. For this reason, investors and silver hoarders alike are drawn to these coins. Many people, including numismatists who focus on collecting coins for their historical and collectable worth, like having coins that contain a significant quantity of silver.
