This is a beautiful coin that is highly collectible and very liquid in the marketplace. For a pure silver play, I would instead recommend reputable silver rounds at a lower price than the eagle, which sells for a larger premium over spot. The obverse design of the walking liberty half dollar by Adolph Weinman was so popular that it was reused for this coin. The reverse was a new design by John Mercanti, and features a striking heraldic eagle and shield. There are different versions of this coin, including standard strikes and proof strikes (today there are way too many variations, including reverse-only proof). The composition is 99.93% silver plus 0.07% copper to add strength (contains one full ounce of silver). The only thing I don't like is that it is easily damaged and tones very easily if not properly stored. I would like to see a mix of 80% silver + 20% copper (with one full ounce of silver included), which would be much more durable and would allow the coin to be easily circulated if desired. I would also like to see smaller versions of this coin for circulation. The previously used 90% silver/10% copper mix up through 1964 was a bit too soft and delicate. The Canadians used to produce 80% silver coins, which makes more sense.Read full review
a great way for the non 1% to insulate themselves from poor monetary decisions made by people who don't care about you.socking away silver (A not easily recoverable precious metal used in automotive, defense and aerospace applications) to insulate yourselves from any looming crisis on the horizon.Do yourself a favor and put some aside for your rainy day...
Far better to own than paper dollars which lose value EVERY year due to inflation. If times get tough, precious metals will still be in demand. When the price is right, BUY!!!
Nice coins....Should be a good investment....
