Green Monster Box

The Mint based the obverse design on Adolph Weinman’s popular Walking Liberty Half Dollar and the reverse features an heraldic eagle by John Mercanti. Large quantities are produced keeping premiums low and making the American Silver Eagle Monster Box a first choice with silver investors.

From 1986 through 2012 the US Mint produced 337, 562, 676 regular production American Silver Eagle 1 oz coins. In 2013 the US Mint produced slightly more than 40 million coins.

Since 2001 these coins were only minted at the West Point facility but when production capacity lags the Mint also uses its San Francisco location. The American Silver Eagle Monster Box contains 25 tubes. Each tube contains 20 mint state coins.

The term American Silver Eagle Monster Box was first used by TV telemarketers. The US Mint spared no expense in developing this dark green plastic box which is safely shipped all over the world.

There are many reasons why this silver bullion coin is popular: (1) The American Silver Eagle contains exactly one oz of pure silver so pricing is easy. (2) Because weight and purity are guaranteed by the US Government this is a popular choice for Individual Retirement Accounts. (3) Because the American Silver Eagle is $1.00 Legal Tender they appeal to investors who want barter money in case paper currency is questioned. (4) The American Silver Eagle is strikingly beautiful and a tribute to the US Mint’s ability to produce beautiful works of art.
