American Eagle silver coins are a fascinating group of collectibles for anyone interested in numismatics (coin collecting), whether they are business-minded people who are into it for the investment in rising monetary value, or hobbyists and enthusiasts who are into it for investing into history.
American Eagle silver coins are rich with both, monetary and historical values, and therefore a broad community of collectors seek them out to acquire them into their personal collections.
There's just something intriguingly beautiful about these pieces of Americana, whether of considerable vintage or newly struck, that seems to draw people to them like a magnet.
What's a good example of American Eagle silver coins? Take for example the Peace silver dollar...
the reverse of the coin displays an eagle at rest, wings folded, sitting atop a mountain peak, viewing the distant rising morning sun's rays in the sky.
Instead of holding a bunch of arrows in one set of talons and olive branches in the other, he is only holing the olive branches of peace in his talons as he is perched there in quiet contemplation.
Perhaps one of the most famous American Eagle silver coins is known as the Morgan silver dollar.
This one depicts an eagle in flight, holding both the usual arrows and olive branches on the reverse of the coin.
The eagle's wings are done in a somewhat different style than most, being not quite fully outstretched, but closer to the body as though in mid-wingbeat in mid-flight.
Very few of this type of American Eagle silver dollar are left, which lends even more value to these due to their rarity.
