Money For Grabs

The American Silver Eagle has been issued by the US Mint since the series was launched in 1986. Each coin contains one ounce of .999 fine silver with its weight and purity guaranteed by the government. There have been collectible versions of the coin offered in addition to the standard bullion issue. During 2009, high demand for silver bullion resulted in the cancellation of the collector versions of the coins. The situation threatens to persist into the coming year.

If you are a collector of coins, you will be pleased to know that 24 karat first spouse gold coins are now being released. This program is scheduled to run through 2016. So far, only nine spouses have been released to the public.
