2017 1 oz Palladium American Eagle
We have been receiving a lost of questions about this particular coin lately because there has been a lot of confusion about the size of the coin. After doing some checking ourselves we found that almost every resource out there had the wrong size listed for this coin. Luckily one of our suppliers who had these coins in hand measured them to clear up the confusion. The outside diameter of the coin measures at 34mm. The problem however is with the unique thickness of this coin because it is High Relief meaning it has raised edges and artwork. The coin measures around 3.5mm in thickness meaning that it will not fit in our "H" capsules. You will need an X34mm Ring Type Air-Tite which we will begin carrying very soon specifically for this coin. I hope you guys and girls find this helpful and will share this with the rest of the coin collecting community. Check back in soon for our next post.

American Silver Eagles

American Silver Eagles are quite possibly the most popular coin to collect in the United States. It is pure silver and has a beautiful design. This coin does create some confusion though which is why we are talking about it here in our first blog. The confusion lies with coin size and understandably so. Many people assume when they select "Large Dollar" or "Silver Dollar" that they are buying the correct size for Silver Eagles and why not? It is legal tender made of silver that is worth $1 right? However the Silver Eagle isn't considered a large dollar like other coins such as Morgans, Peace & Eisenhower dollars. It is most widely considered bullion. Silver rounds and bullion vary in size and are often larger than the 38mm size of the large dollars. They are actually 40.6mm. So always keep in mind that when you are looking for holders and cases for your silver eagles to look for items that specifically refer to the American Silver Eagle coin.
