Despite silver values constantly changing, the demand for U.S. Silver Eagle coins has grown steadily over the decades and today is at an all-time high. Add one or a few to your collection today!

About the 2009 American Silver Eagle:
This high demand for silver created shortages in 2009 and severely impacted the production of the 2009 American Silver Eagle. The U.S. Mint rationed sales to authorized purchasers early in the year. Rationing ended in June, but before the year was over, demand once again exceeded supply, and the 2009 Silver Eagle was again rationed.

The U.S. Mint is legally required to produce Silver Eagle bullion coins, but there is no such mandate for collectible versions of the Silver Eagle. So in order to use all available blanks for Silver Eagle bullion coins, the Mint cancelled production of Proof Silver Eagles and Uncirculated Silver Eagles for 2009.

By year's end, sales of Silver Eagle bullion coins reached a new record high of more than 30 million coins sold.

In fact, American Silver Eagle bullion coins are one of the most secure, liquid, convenient and beautiful way to own pure silver! They're also the ONLY silver bullion coins whose weight and silver content is certified by the U.S. Government.

The overall average price of silver during 2009 was $14.67 per ounce.
