Silver Eagle bullion coins first came onto the numismatic scene in 1986. With the popularity of other country's bullion coins, it was believed that the U.S. Eagles would sell equally well. They were as popular and then some! Since 1986 more than 90 million have been sold! Helping their status with both collectors and investors is the fact that U.S. Silver Eagles are the only silver coins allowed in IRAs. Another attraction of these coins is no doubt their beauty. The obverse design by Adolph Weinman was first used in 1916 on the Walking Liberty half dollar and has long been considered one of our most beautiful coin designs. Silver Eagles started out as a inexpensive way to invest in silver and became one of the most collected U.S. coins. Along with their gold and platinum counterparts they are a gift of lasting value!
