Silver Eagle Coins
The Silver American Eagle has been minted since November 24, 1986. Since its introduction, it has grown to be the most popular silver bullion coin investment. The Silver Eagle Monster Boxcontains 500 coins. The coins are divided into rolls of twenty coins stacked in plastic tubes. 25 of these tubes make up the monster box.
Demand for the silver Eagle is consistently high, and a sealed monster box of Silver Eagle coins is an ideal mid- to long-term investment in wealth protection. Unsealed boxes carry a lower premium as the risk increases that the coins inside the box are not the originals that shipped with the box. Since sealed boxes are accompanied with a certificate, it is impossible to know whether the silver coins in an unsealed box are in 'mint' condition and whether or not they came in the original package.
