Records are meant to be broken, and when it comes to buying silver in the American Eagle collection, records were falling each year in the 2010s. The American Silver Eagle’s previous sales record from 1987 had stood for 21 years until the 2008 release. By 2010, that new record had been broken twice as demand for the coins skyrocketed. 2010 1 oz American Silver Eagle Coins are currently available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion with a PCGS certification.
