Silver Bullion Coins. Far and away, the most widely recognized and acclaimed silver coin is the American Silver Eagle. Produced by the U.S. mint, this stunning coin is symbolic of high quality silver bullion production and heritage. The American silver eagle carries a face value of $1.00 and is .999 percent fine. Most commonly bought and sold silver coins contain 1 troy ounce and are also .999 while some can be as high as .9999.
United States coins are made out of a few different types of metals. Pennies (1-cent coins) are made of copper and zinc. The zinc is actually on the inside, so we only see the copper color on the outside! A nickel (5-cent coin) is made out of copper and another metal that is called nickel. That should be pretty easy to remember! Dimes (10-cent coins), quarters (25-cent coins) and half dollars (50-cent coins) are made of three really thin sheets of metal that get pressed together. The outside layers of metal are copper and nickel.
