Silver coin investments are quite literally booming like never before. Both the recently introduced 2010 Boy Scouts of America Silver Dollar Centennial Coin, and the American Silver Eagle Coin, sold like hot cakes in the month of March, 2010. It is perhaps a sign that investors are starting to listen to analysts’ advice and are buying up silver now while the price of silver coins are still relatively low compared to gold.

The American Eagles’ Sales Soar

While there is a vast array of silver coins to be traded and collected from many manufacturers worldwide, it’s the American Silver Eagle that has long been among the most recognized silver coins investments. Sales were up substantially in recent years, with millions being sold annually, and this American 99% silver bullion beauty just had the best March in the coin’s 24 year history; better still, the coin enjoyed the most profitable 1st quarter period sales as well.

By the middle of March, approximately 2 million coins had been sold in that month alone, but the latter weeks of the month also saw a significant amount of purchases with nearly 1.5 million more having been sold before March closed out. While the scarce global supply of silver still remains unnoticed by the general public, and the price of silver coins continues to remain affordable, the American Silver Eagle will surely continue to be bought up by forward-thinking investors looking for profit-reaping opportunities.

The Latest Wave of Silver Coins Investments

The Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollar Coins had just recently launched on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 in both proof and uncirculated silver coin varieties. The BSA silver coin commemorates the centennial of the Boy Scouts of America and is composed of 90% silver. Something about this particular coin sparked the interest of buyers everywhere, as all 350,000 of those that were minted are now expected to sell out completely. Apparently, not all silver coins are created equally in the eyes of investors, as the BSA silver dollar coin substantially beat out the Disabled American Veterans Silver Dollar, which had also recently been introduced to the coin-purchasing public in February.

Why Silver Coins Investments?

Silver coins investments are a great opportunity for collecting and investing. The price of silver coins remains affordable, and their value is set to sky rocket as supplies further dwindle. Both economy-proof and in perpetual demand, the most sophisticated investors know that buying silver is the way to protect against inflation or make a speculative play for long-term returns.
