1996 American Silver Eagle Coin

1996 1 oz American Silver Eagle Coin

American Silver Eagles may be the best-sold series among the most popular silver coins. The US Mint has maintained regular editions since the program’s first release.

The 1996 issue, the 11th of the program, has a particular characteristic that makes it unique. It had the lowest mintage of American Silver Eagle bullion coins, with only 3,603,386 units struck.

A restricted number of coins available in the market tends to contribute to their value because of their potential for rarity over the years, making collectors crave these particular coins. And investors with a diversified investment portfolio would enjoy the opportunity of acquiring such kind of asset. They could potentially turn a larger profit in the future.

1996 1 oz American Silver Eagle coins are available for purchase online from SD Bullion.
