The First Five Proof Silver Eagles - 1986-1990

The American Silver Eagle is the perfect Tri-Fecta … the Largest, Purest and Heaviest Silver Dollar in US Mint history. It is easily the #1 Silver Dollar in the world today .. #2 is a combination of the rest of the top 10.

The Finest Quality

The Best of the Best in Silver Eagles is the limited edition Proof. They are double struck on highly polished dies … like a mirror - you can actually see you self when looking at the coins image.

First Years Releases

Firsts are always remembered … the first person to fly across the Atlantic, the first Super Bowl Winner, the first person to walk on the moon ... and they have a special place in the hearts of collectors. Regular issue Proof Silver Eagles have been struck at three US Mints: San Francisco ( 1986 to 1992 ), Philadelphia ( 1993 to 2000 ) and West Point ( 2001 to present ).

Rarity - And a Value to Hard to Pass Up

Unlike the Uncirculated coin released each year the Proof Silver Eagles are struck in extremely limited numbers. A comparison of the First Year Uncirculated and Proofs make them a must buy … 1986 ( 5.3 million uncs - 1.4 million proofs - a 4 to 1 ration ) 1993 ( 6.7 million uncs - .37 million proofs - a 18 to 1 ratio ) 2001 ( 9 Million uncs – .746 million proofs - a 12 to 1 ratio ). The question to ask .. why are the proofs only selling for a small premium to the uncirculated? That’s Value.
