You probably already know that the
United States
stopped producing Silver Dollar coins many years ago, but started again with the
American Eagle Silver Dollar in 1986. Since then the price of silver has
fluctuated and today is climbing up. Although the silver dollar can be used as
legal tender at the face of $1.00, the actual price of silver alone increases
the total value of the coin many times over. This coin will most likely continue
to increase in value over the years to come.
The
dollar is composed of 99.93% pure silver with a (very) little copper added for
strength and durability and measures around 40mm in diameter with a weight of
approximately 31 grams.
