Product Description
American Silver Eagles are produced by the United States Mint, and each coin’s content, weight and purity is guaranteed by the United States Government. With the turmoil in precious metals over the last few years, the US Mint has had difficulty keeping up with the unrelenting demand for Silver Eagles from collectors, investors and dealers! As a result, there’s no guarantee how long these one troy ounce 99.93% Silver Dollars will be available. Eagles have always featured a rendition of sculptor Adolph A. Weinman’s magnificent Walking Liberty design, originally prepared and executed for the Nation’s first circulating halfdollar coin in 1916. In a process similar to that used to create the magnificent American Eagle Proof Coins, American Eagle Uncirculated Coins are hand-loaded into the coining press, and struck on polished blanks. If you want one (or more) you’ll need to act quickly before this year’s supply is long gone!

About ANACS
ANACS’ rich and noble history began in 1972. It was created by the American Numismatic Association (ANA) with a mission to correct an urgent problem facing the coin hobby. The ANA is a century-old, not-for-profit educational association for collectors of coins, tokens, medals and paper money. The ANA, like the U.S. Olympic Association and the American Red Cross, is chartered by the U.S. Congress.
In the early 1970s, the ANA board of governors recognized that something significant needed to be done about the counterfeit and altered coins that were plaguing the coin community. Their solution was ANACS, the American Numismatic Association Certification Service. ANACS began with a staff of two experts with Washington D.C. as its home. Washington was chosen in order to utilize the Smithsonian’s Numismatic Collection and to be near the Treasury Department, specifically the Secret Service.
This was a time when many people could never be quite certain if the coins they were purchasing, or even selling, were genuine or counterfeit. Something had to be done to protect and uphold the integrity of the coin industry, especially if it was to grow into the mainstream as a hobby and a business. Little had been written on the subject and the science of counterfeit detection was still in its infancy. ANACS certified its first coin as genuine on June 15, 1972. As the need for the service grew and as the benefits were proven over and over, additional experts were added to ANACS’ staff.
In 1976, ANACS was moved to Colorado Springs where ANA had its headquarters. Three years later, ANACS began grading coins using the technical grading standards that the ANA had established earlier with its book, “The Official American Numismatic Association Grading Standards for United States Coins,” a monumental work that the ANACS staff helped create. Coins were given a grade for each side of the coin, obverse then reverse (e.g., MS-65/63). The service took off. A few years later ANACS was grading nearly 3,000 coins a month. (Today, that would be a good day at ANACS!) No one had yet thought of encapsulating the coins in plastic holders. Instead, ANACS issued a photo certificate showing both sides of the coin, the dual grades and pertinent comments about the coin.
In 1983, Kenneth E. Bressett was appointed Director of ANACS. Ken was, and still is, the long-time editor of “The Red Book” and a frequent numismatic author and speaker. Ken hired and trained a team of graders at ANACS, many of whom moved on to become some of the most famous names in coin collecting. Many are still professionally grading coins today, others are leading, national coin dealers, while still others are highly respected numismatic researchers and authors.

Which Silver Eagles to purchase
Although there are approx one-hundred million total silver eagles produced to date, there are many that have a drastically lower mintage. Keep in mind that the value of the coin is mostly based on the amount of coins out there. Much fewer coins make the mint state 70 grade, so be sure to get those. Fewer still are proofs, so also make sure to get those. Then there are the ones made at the San Fransisco Mint, which are fewer still, especially when graded MS-70. SOME OF THESE COINS GET TO THE POINT THAT THERE ARE LESS THAN 1000 MINTED, such as the 2012-W ANACS SP-70 Silver Eagle (first strike) made using a burnished dye. There are only 995 of these coins that made the cut, making them ultra rare. These are the coins that go up in price extremely fast, while others creep up in price slowly. To get such coins, you need to ask for an agent at CSN, as these are unadvertised coins that only go to the very series collectors. There are other silver eagles with unbelievably low mintages, as you have to take every aspect of the coin in effect, as one silver eagle is not the same as another. I normally get one of each (i.e., regular, proof, burnished dye, anniversary, etc...). In doing so, I have many incredibly rare coins in my collection. I'll say no more, as there are some that are even more rare. Just keep in mind that when you have a mintage of only 995 coins that meet a certain standard, there are approx 160,000,000 coin collectors in the United States alone.
