American Eagle Silver

I'm not talking about investing hundreds of dollars on them. What I am saying is, you hear a lot of people saying a $1 today isn't going to be worth as much later right? Well if I were to purchase a Silver American Eagle coin this year, would the $40 or so dollars spent on it be better served that way or just being saved at home.

Not really.

Coin collecting is more like baseball cards - occasionally you'll get something in your collection with several times the face value. Usually you strive for coins that are rare but not necessarily valuable.

An example would be an Indian head penny from the 1800's. It's not something you'll find every day but it's not worth much more than it's face value. Even though it's at least 100 years old there were still plenty minted and enough out there that the value has increased so little.

You would get a better return rate by investing $100 in a certificate of deposit at an FDIC insured financial institution. In 3 to 6 months you could almost double it depending on where you lived and who your account was with. Then reinvest it again for a longer time and higher interest rate. Keep going.

Coin-wise what's hot right now are the presidential dollar coins. There has been talk of doing away with the Sacagawea and Susan B. Anthony coins in addition to minting comemorative coins on all the presidents.

In this episode of spare change we look at the American Silver Eagle. The history behind this silver coin is very interesting along with the ...

I bought the coin off ebay but it did not come with a presentation case,and the mint doesn't seem to offer those for sale separately. If I can't get an official case, what are my alternatives? This is for my second son, and I'd really like them both to have the same type of case.

You could do a search for numismatic supplies. One site that has a lot of supplies is Amos Advantage. Maybe you could buy two boxes from the same source that way they would both be the same.

Happy hunting

Gemstones may have been treated to improve their appearance or durability and may require special care.
The natural properties and composition of mined gemstones define the unique beauty of each piece. The image may show slight differences to the actual stone in color and texture.

There are many ways and it depends on where you live and keep them. Also the amount of money you want to pay for supplies. A rather new item is the self sealing air tight cardboard 2X2's that are archival. They seem to work quite well and are not that expensive. hard plastic holders are usually not air tight but would take more handling. Also the coins need to be stored in a place that the temperature remains closely the same. If you have high humidity the silica gel needs to be used in the storage box, safe or drawer. Go to www.brooklyngallery.com they are a large dealer in coin and stamp supplies and have almost everything. Look to see what best fits your wallet and what you like. I use more than one system for many reasons as do most collectors.
