SILVER COINS

The United States first began minting silver dollars in 1792 and continues to produce silver coins with a face value of $1 today (the Silver American Eagle). The silver half-dollar was first coined two years later in 1794 although it would not be until 1916 that the U.S. Mint produced what is widely considered America's most beautiful silver coin, the Walking Liberty Half-Dollar.

Goldline’s classification of coins is based upon the definitions provided. Other dealers and organizations may define these terms or classify these coins differently.


Numismatic Silver Coins

Numismatics refer to coins whose value is principally based upon such factors as condition, grade, scarcity and demand, rather than their precious metals content. Numismatic products currently do not require a SSN upon liquidation. Many coins graded by the two largest grading services, Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) are considered numismatic coins. Proof coins are also considered numismatic coins. Some lower grade coins may be considered semi-numismatic coins.

*Some lower grade coins may be considered semi-numismatic coins.

MORGAN SILVER DOLLAR*

The Morgan Dollar is one of the most collected silver coins in our history. This George T. Morgan design is awash with Western lore and legend. First struck in 1878, it was created to absorb the fabulous quantity of silver mined from the Comstock Lode.

PEACE SILVER DOLLAR*

The Peace Dollar was minted to commemorate the signing of the peace treaty between the United States and Germany at the end of World War I. This coin was created without a new Congressional Act; instead it was minted under the provisions of the Pittman Act that authorized the reissue of the Morgan Silver Dollar in 1921.

WALKING LIBERTY HALF-DOLLAR*

The Walking Liberty half-dollars are the last regular issue silver coins to feature Miss Liberty, although the U.S. Mint decided to copy the design for its Silver American Eagle bullion coins. The coin's obverse depicts Lady Liberty cloaked in Old Glory walking towards a new day. She carries branches of laurel and oak in her arms.

PROOF SILVER AMERICAN EAGLE*

Proof silver American Eagles are collector versions of the official United States silver bullion coin. Only a limited number of proof coins are struck each year and certain years have been known to sell out soon after being issued.

Semi-Numismatic Silver Coins

Semi-numismatics are coins containing precious metals that generally move up and down with the spot price of the precious metals but also contain additional value above their precious metal content. There is a premium for these coins based upon such factors as demand. Semi-numismatic products currently do not require a SSN upon liquidation.

*Some higher grade coins may be considered numismatic coins.

2010 BOY SCOUT CENTENNIAL SILVER DOLLAR

The 2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollar is limited to 350,000 coins total from both uncirculated and proof options. The uncirculated version of the coin, struck on specially burnished blanks, features a soft satin finish to the coin and its images. The proof version of the 2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollar is extraordinarily brilliant and features sharp relief and a mirror-like background to highlight the images on both sides of the coin.

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL SILVER BULLION COINS

Each coin is three inches in diameter. The obverse of the coins duplicates their smaller twin - the U.S. quarter - even down to its 25 cent face value, though these silver coins are nearly double the size and five times the silver content of the silver American Eagle.

FRANKLIN HALF-DOLLAR

The Franklin Half-Dollar coin was minted from 1948 to 1963. The coin pictured Benjamin Franklin on the obverse (front) and the Liberty Bell on the reverse (back). A small eagle to the right of the bell was necessitated by law; Franklin himself had preferred the turkey as a "more noble bird."

KENNEDY HALF-DOLLAR

Both Congress and the U.S. Mint scrambled to create the coin memorializing our nation's 35th President following President Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963. Congress passed an act authorizing the Kennedy Half-Dollar on December 30, 1963.

MERCURY DIME / WINGED LIBERTY HEAD

Referred to as the "Mercury" dime, the coin’s front, or obverse, actually depicts Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap. The cap’s wings are intended to symbolize freedom or “liberty” of thought.

MORGAN SILVER DOLLAR*

The Morgan Dollar is one of the most collected silver coins in our history. This George T. Morgan design is awash with Western lore and legend. First struck in 1878, it was created to absorb the fabulous quantity of silver mined from the Comstock Lode.

PEACE SILVER DOLLAR*

The Peace Dollar was minted to commemorate the signing of the peace treaty between the United States and Germany at the end of World War I. This coin was created without a new Congressional Act; instead it was minted under the provisions of the Pittman Act that authorized the reissue of the Morgan Silver Dollar in 1921.

WALKING LIBERTY HALF-DOLLAR*

The Walking Liberty half-dollars are the last regular issue silver coins to feature Miss Liberty, although the U.S. Mint decided to copy the design for its Silver American Eagle bullion coins. The coin's obverse depicts Lady Liberty cloaked in Old Glory walking towards a new day. She carries branches of laurel and oak in her arms.

RED, WHITE & BLUE SILVER AMERICAN EAGLE

The silver American Eagle in red, white and blue makes a perfect gift for the patriot in your family. Each coin is an official silver American Eagle bullion coin brought to life with radiant color by the Perth Mint in Australia.

Silver Bullion

Bullion may come in bar or coin form. Its value is principally based upon its precious metal content plus the cost of fabrication. The value of a bullion bar or coin rises and falls with the spot price of the precious metal. Currently, most bullion products above certain minimums require a SSN upon liquidation.

MEXICAN LIBERTAD

The Mexican Libertad series features a one-ounce silver bullion coin that has been produced in years when other Onza Troy de Plata (troy ounce of silver) Mexican coins were not being minted.

SILVER AUSTRALIAN KOALA

The Australia Silver Koala coin is minted in sizes as small as one half ounce and as large as one kilogram. This one-kilo version is among the largest government-issued silver coin in the world.

SILVER AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA

The Silver Australian Kookaburra from the Perth Mint comes in various sizes, the largest being one of the largest government-issued silver coins in the world.  This popular one kilo silver coin contains 32.151 Troy ounces of pure silver and is 99.9% fine.  

SILVER CANADIAN MAPLE LEAF

Silver Canadian Maple Leafs are renowned the world over as silver bullion coins for their 99.99% silver purity. The coin's reverse (back) depicts a Maple Leaf, the national symbol of Canada, from which the coin derives its name.

90% AND 40% SILVER BAGS

Ninety-percent silver bags are often referred to as 'junk silver' though this term can be misleading. These coins are generally dimes and quarters sold in $1,000 bags which reflect their face value (i.e., the legal tender value of the coins). Half bags contain a face value of $500.

SILVER AMERICAN EAGLE

Silver American Eagles, which the United States government first introduced in 1986, have fast become one of the most popular ways to invest in silver bullion. Like the gold American Eagle, the design for the Silver American Eagle was borrowed from an older American coin.

SILVER BULLION BARS

Silver bullion bars, also referred to as ingots, range in weight between 1 and 1,000 ounces. The most commonly traded bars, however, come in 10- and 100-oz. bars. Each bar contains .999 fine silver and is hallmarked for weight and purity.
