This refers to a specific quantity of bullion coins, each containing one troy ounce of fine silver and bearing the design of the American Eagle. The coins are legal tender in the United States, with their value primarily derived from their silver content and collectibility rather than their face value. These coins are often packaged and sold in tubes containing precisely twenty individual pieces.
Acquiring these coins offers several potential advantages. They can serve as a tangible store of value, potentially hedging against inflation or economic uncertainty. The American Eagle design is recognized globally, contributing to liquidity and ease of resale. Furthermore, the intrinsic value of the silver combined with collector demand can lead to price appreciation over time. The series also benefits from its historical context, being a prominent symbol of American coinage and silver investment.
