- Purchase by Silver Weight (Regardless of Condition)

About Purchasing Silver Coins (GoldSilverJapan)

GoldSilverJapan purchases American Silver Eagles (1 oz silver coins), officially issued by the United States government, based on their silver weight (pure silver content), regardless of condition.

This page is a purchasing guide that emphasizes their value as bullion (silver), without regard to collector's premium or appraisal grade.

Unused, circulated, with scratches, tarnish, or milk spots, are all appraised using the same criteria.

Purchase Price Concept (Silver Weight)

The American Silver Eagle contains one troy ounce (approximately 31.1g) of .999 pure silver, making it one of the most widely circulated silver bullion coins in the world.

GoldSilverJapan calculates its purchase price based on the following factors:

- The current day's international silver price (spot price)
- Pure silver content (1 troy ounce)
- Market circulation and demand
- Exchange rate (converted to yen)

*Price differences are not based on the coin's condition or appearance.
*The final purchase price will be determined based on the silver market price at the time of acceptance.

Condition (regardless)

All silver coins in the following conditions are eligible for purchase:

- Minor scratches and scuffs due to circulation
- Tarnish and toning (color changes unique to silver)
- Milk spots
- Light stains
- No capsule, bare coin

*Please consult us in advance only if there are significant damage, breaks, or significant alterations.

About the American Silver Eagle: The American Silver Eagle is the official American silver bullion coin, first issued by the United States Mint in 1986.

A key feature of the coin is that its weight, purity, and content are officially guaranteed by the U.S. government.

It is traded worldwide for investment, stockpiling, and asset diversification purposes.

It continues to be issued annually today, and is widely recognized as a global standard silver coin due to its high liquidity and reliability.

Obverse Design (Walking Liberty)

The obverse features the **Walking Liberty**, one of the most highly regarded figures in the history of American coinage.

This design was created by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman for the 1916 half dollar and is known as a symbol of freedom, hope, and national ideals.

Reverse Design (Eagle)

The reverse features the **eagle**, symbolizing the American Great Seal.

Although minor design changes have occurred over time, each is an official design representing the authority and reliability of the nation.

Is the Silver Eagle an "Investment Product"? While the American Silver Eagle is legally a "silver coin," it is effectively treated as an asset with properties similar to silver bullion.

At GoldSilverJapan, we value genuine silver coins not as "investment products guaranteed to rise in price," but as real assets that reflect the value of silver itself.

As such, we provide transparent appraisals based on silver weight, rather than short-term price fluctuations or condition assessments.
