I assume you are referring to the Silver American Eagle. 1986 was the first year they minted the bullion coin. The bullion coin was minted in Philadelphia, the proof coin was minted in San Fransisco. The first time the coin was minted at West Point was in 1995.

You bought at a great price. Where did you buy?

here is a comparison of the U.S gold dollar and silver dollar from 1853.

While the U.S. had a dollar gold coin and a dollar silver coin that were both worth one U.S. dollar, the weight, and size, of the two coins were vastly different. At no time was gold and silver valued the same in the U.S.

I am not a grader but that coin looks, at most, AU-50. If you want to break it out you can place it on the edge on concrete, cover it with a towel, and lightly tap on top of the edge with a hammer. You may need to rotate and repeast. I have done these numerous times to free a coin. Be careful as the resultant shards can be sharp.

There were around 40,000 available before they went on sale at noon.

0.925 (silver content of coin) multiplied by the spot price (quoted in troy ounces) multiplied by the weight of coin in troy ounces equals the silver value of the coin.

The prices are insane in the U.S. for the Libertads. A couple of sites are selling the 1oz bullion for $50.00+. I found one site that had them for $40.00 which I ordered from to keep the series going. I would like to order the other sizes but I would rather get two ounces instead of one for the same price.

I stand them on edge on a concrete surface and lightly tap along the seem with a hammer. Do this to a couple of sides. It then pops right out. Might want to wear gloves and glasses. As far as the coin goes, it is way over graded, but you probably knew that.

Out of the three I would go with the 2 oz Aztec. Personally I like the round better and it is the cheaper of the three.

Their prices for silver are high. I would use the gift cards to buy other products from Amazon that you normally use and are priced close to what you normally pay. Then use that money to buy silver elsewhere. If you elect to use Amazon then buy the two oz round as that will get you an extra ounce for your money.

The coins go on sale on the 24th of May for pre-orders from the mint. The coins will not be shipped until October.
