Silver American Eagle coins became record-setting bullion products during the Great Recession. The United States Mint had, prior to 2009, only seen demand and mintage for the Silver Eagle surpass 10 million in a single year on three occasions. The first came in 1987, just the second year of availability. The second came in 2002, and the third came on the 20th anniversary of the series in 2006.
During the Great Recession, the Silver Eagle would smash previous mintage record and set new ones on a regular basis. In 2008, 20.583 million coins were sold. In 2009, 2010, and 2011 the Silver Eagle would break records each year. After a blip in 2012, new records were set in 2013, 2014, and 2015, peaking at 47 million coins sold in 2015 alone.
On the obverse of all Silver American Eagle coins is Walking Liberty. This depiction of Liberty as she strides toward the setting sun is said to be indicative of the nation’s constant march toward a brighter future, never allowing the sun to set on the great American experiment in democracy.
The reverse of the 2018 1 oz Silver American Eagle coin has the same design as always: the heraldic eagle. First used in 1794, it is routinely updated throughout time. This 1986 adaptation came from then-US Mint engraver, soon-to-be Chief Engraver, John Mercanti. It depicts the eagle behind the national shield and includes the arrows of war, olive branch of peace, and 13 stars reflecting the original colonies.

Good prices for someone that buys metals at a slower rate. No need to buy hundreds or thousands of ounces, 30 ounces later and still very happy!
I’ve been ordering for the past year and my coins always come in mint condition and wonderfully packed. Plus my coins are received very quickly.
I purchased several silver coins in five different shipments and all the coins were in perfect condition. You could not ask for more. And the customer service is very very good.
2018s in first order, 2017s in 2nd order. Totally happy.
Very fast service, coins in mint shape. I highly recommend this company!
Who knows how long silver will go down. But I bought just last week, and I’m telling you that you should buy now! See what the price is tomorrow, and give them a call. Best prices anywhere. Thanks again, Silver dot com! Awesome coins, and on time as usual.
