American Silver Eagle

Probably THE most widely collected silver bullion coin, well at least in US if not in this part of the world, the American Silver Eagle (ASE) was first release in 1986 as part of the American Eagle Bullion Program.

Yearly mintage is unlimited. You can see the various mintage numbers on the right hand column from the above link.

*Note- High global demand in 2008/2009 resulted in a shortage of silver blanks causing the US mint to temporary suspend the launch of Proof Eagles and 2009-W uncirculated Eagles.

Here are some graded slabs in my collection. I will touch on graded coins another time.
