Among the three mints in America, the United States Mint coins the highest volume of gold and silver coinage. The products from the Mint are very popularly known to investors and collectors all over the world. The US Mint was established on April 2, 1792, after congress passed the Coinage Act. It delivered its first circulating coins with 11,178 Copper Cents on March 1793. The production of silver and gold started in 1794 and 1795, respectively. Before 1964, the US minted silver coins had 900 pure silver content.
The Mint offers bullion coinage from gold, silver, platinum, and palladium to historic US gold and silver circulation coins. Although the US Mint no longer produces silver coins for circulation, millions of investors and collectors show a keen interest in their purity, affordability, and exquisite design. There is no shortage of options to buy silver from the Mint.
The US Silver Coins come in a range of designs from historical figures, iconic sites, animals, and more. Each series boasts a unique design that includes pictures of figures like the American Bald Eagle and Lady Liberty.
One of the most popular coins ever issued by the United States Mint was the $20 Gold Double Eagle. They later came in denominations of Eagle ($10), Half Eagle ($5), Quarter-Eagle ($2.50), and the Famed Double Eagle. Other historic US Silver Bullion Coins are the Morgan Silver Dollar by George T. Morgan (1878 to 1921), Walking Liberty Half Dollar by Adolph A. Weinman (1916 to 1947), Mercury Dime also designed by Adolph A. Weinman (1916 to 1945), and many more.
