Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items that hold value due to their rarity, historical significance, or unique features. The United States Mint produces various collectible coins, including the American Silver Eagle series, which debuted in 1986. The 2023 Silver Eagle, like its predecessors, is composed of one ounce of .999 fine silver and is popular among collectors for its bullion value and appealing design. Collectors value these coins for their aesthetic appeal, investment potential, and the prestige associated with owning pieces of U.S. coinage history.
