The American Silver Eagle, first released in 1986, is the only sovereign bullion coin produced in the US.

Coins with a brilliant uncirculated, or BU, finish have never been circulated and have a frosted sheen.

Provident offers a variety of BU American Silver Eagles, from limited edition coins that come with certificates of authenticity to coins dating as far back as 1986.

Individuals interested in investing often hear about the benefits of diversifying their portfolios. This is why precious metals are such an attractive option. But even under the umbrella of precious metals, there are plenty of ways to continue diversifying.
One important distinction is the difference between sovereign coins and other bullion rounds. A sovereign coin is produced and backed by the government, giving it a legal tender value and making it eligible for most precious metals IRAs. A privately minted round is made by a private company, yet is still made with high-quality metals. Sovereign coins give you both the value of the metals with the security that comes from a government mint. Buying sovereign coins also gives you the option of private storage or bank storage, which can help further the diversification of your investment.
