The American dream - life, (lady) liberty and pursuit of more silver!!

SOURCE

I recently wrote a blog where i asked a simple question - "Which silver coin is your favourite?". The results are still coming in, but what was clear, and i kind of knew this all along, a persons favourite silver coin often coincides with the country that person calls home.... Yanks prefer lady Liberty, the Canooks adore leaves, those wonders from down under quit fancy a kangaroo/Kookaburra and us Brits like good old Brittannia. Ohhh and another thing, EVERYONE loves the Mexican Libertads(its because she shows her boobs)!!

So in an eternal effort to on-board the masses and get everyone to understand the importance of silver as a sound investment againt inflation and thebdark times ahead, allow me to give you a deeper dive in to why "The American Silver Eagle" is a pretty sound start when buying silver.

Lady Liberty herself

The American Silver Eagle coin is a highly respected and sought-after coin among investors and collectors. These coins are the official silver bullion coin of the United States, and are produced by the U.S. Mint. They are made of 99.9% fine silver, and their weight, content, and purity are guaranteed by the U.S. government.

One of the reasons why the American Silver Eagle is so well-regarded is its design. The obverse features the iconic "Walking Liberty" design, which was created by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916. This design is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful ever to appear on a coin. It depicts Lady Liberty walking towards the sunrise, holding an olive branch and the American flag, symbolizing peace and freedom. The reverse features the heraldic eagle, a symbol of the United States since its founding. The eagle is holding an olive branch and arrows, representing peace and power.

Another reason why American Silver Eagles are so popular is that they are legal tender coins, with a face value of one dollar. This gives them an added layer of credibility and makes them an attractive option for those looking to invest in precious metals. The Silver Eagles are also IRA eligible, which makes it an attractive option for retirement saving.

The American Silver Eagle coin is also a favorite among collectors due to the various options available. The U.S. Mint releases the American Silver Eagle in both bullion and proof versions. The bullion coins are minted to meet the demand of investors and are sold in bulk, while the proof coins are specially made for collectors and have a higher level of detail. There are also various special edition releases, such as the reverse proof coin, which has a frosted background and a mirror-like finish on the design, adding to its uniqueness and rarity.

In conclusion, the American Silver Eagle coin is a highly respected and sought-after coin among investors and collectors. Its beautiful design, guaranteed purity and weight, and legal tender status make it a popular choice for those looking to invest in precious metals or add to their coin collection. With various options available, it's a coin that can cater to different needs and preferences.
