Even if you’re not a savvy precious metals investor, you’ve probably heard of American Eagle coins—because they’re one of the most recognized ways people buy bullion in both silver and gold. If you stack silver bullion, collect silver coins, or you’re shopping for a widely recognized silver coin for your precious metals strategy, this side-by-side comparison shows why the Silver American Eagle remains one of the most trusted bullion coins in the world—and why so many people consider it “real money” you can hold in your hand. Basic American Silver Eagle information The American Silver Eagle is the U.S. Mint’s official silver bullion coin. Each coin contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, carries a $1 face value, and measures 40.6 mm in diameter—making it a standard, globally recognizable piece of precious metal silver bullion. It’s also one of the most widely recognized silver coins for investment because people know what it is the moment they see it—and that familiarity matters when you’re buying, selling, or simply building a stack of precious metals over time. Liberty Coin Act of 1985 (how the series began) The American Silver Eagle program traces back to the Liberty Coin Act of 1985, sponsored by Senator James A. McClure and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. That legislation authorized the U.S. Mint to create the American Eagle silver bullion coin program—leading to the first Silver Eagles being minted in 1986. Type I vs Type II Silver American Eagle designs (what changed) Collectors and investors often split modern Silver Eagles into two main eras: Type I (1986–mid-2021) Obverse: Walking Liberty design by Adolph A. Weinman Reverse: Heraldic Eagle design by John Mercanti This is the classic original look most people associate with older American Eagle silver coins and legacy bullion. Type II (mid-2021–present) Obverse: A refreshed Walking Liberty rendering (still based on Weinman’s original) with updated detail Reverse: The “Eagle Landing” design created by Emily Damstra (sculpted by U.S. Mint medallic artist Michael Gaudioso) Type II is the modern-era Silver Eagle you’ll see on recent issues like the 2025. When did the security “notch” start? (and what it does) Mike points out a subtle security feature on the newer coin that can look like a tiny “notch” on the edge. This is the U.S. Mint’s anti-counterfeit reeded edge variation, introduced in 2021 as part of the updated American Eagle redesign. It’s intended to make the coin more difficult to counterfeit and to give buyers another quick authenticity cue when handling modern Silver American Eagle silver bullion issues.

The Fed’s Magic Money Trick: Poof, Inflation!
https://www.moneymetals.com/podcasts/2025/11/19/perception-isnt-always-reality-004491
In “The Fed’s Magic Money Trick: Poof, Inflation!” Mike Maharrey explains how the Federal Reserve has been quietly fueling inflation for years by creating money out of thin air. He walks through nearly $9 trillion in quantitative easing, describing it as the Fed literally “writing checks” on an account with no money in it and injecting that new cash directly into the financial system.
Mike also unpacks the era of 0% interest rates, negative real yields, and the Fed’s failed attempt to “normalize” policy. By 2018–2019, the economy and stock market were already wobbling, forcing

Breakable Fractional Silver Rounds and Bar: Built for Barter
https://www.moneymetals.com/buy/silver/fractionals
In this short video, Mike Maharrey takes a quick look at innovative fractional silver rounds and a breakable silver bar designed for real-world use.
Each silver piece is pre-scored and perforated, so you can snap off smaller bits of silver on demand—perfect for barter, making change, or adding flexible fractional silver to your stack.

Here’s how a Stimulus Check-sized windfall could Make Money smarter.
In 2021, $3,200 bought ~1.7 oz of gold or ~128 oz of silver. Today, that stack would be worth about $7,165 (gold) or $6,685 (silver)—more than double in four years.

The Federal Reserve just cut interest rates and ended balance sheet reduction, and it executed this "monetary easing" in the face of stubbornly high price inflation.
Why?!
In a sane world, the central bank would be holding rates higher to strangle inflation once and for all. It might even be hiking rates.
But we don’t live in a sane world. We live in a world with a massive debt black hole that is sucking the entire economy into it.
This debt-riddled bubble economy can’t function even with modestly higher interest rates. It "needs" its easy money drug. The Fed seems intent on supplying it to keep the party going – inflation be damned. Simply put, the Fed is trying to walk a tightrope.
It must choose between
