The fact that the 2014 American Silver Eagle is a year that has an established and documented significance to the 40 year history of the Silver Eagle program: the year demand set an all-time production record, forcing the U.S. Mint to operate both West Point and San Francisco mints, and even then, they still had trouble finding enough silver planchets to meet demand. At 44,006,000 coins, the 2014 bullion mintage was the second-highest in the program's history at the time of production—surpassed only by 2015's 47 million coin run that came immediately after. The 2014 Silver Eagle is the pivot-year coin of the great Silver Eagle demand surge of the early 2010s.
The American Silver Eagle came to market in 2014 amidst the greatest demand in the series' history. When it was released, the 2014 American Silver Eagle BU coin set sold 44,000,000 coins—breaking the record for single-year mintage. In the time of heavy demand, the San Francisco Mint had been called into service to help meet the demands of the West Point Mint.
It is a Brilliant Uncirculated bullion coins, the most common investment-grade version that is not marked with a mint mark, are sold via the U.S. Mint's network of Authorized Purchasers and is manufactured on the same production line that has been providing Silver Eagle investors since 1986. It is not a proof coin, not a burnished uncirculated coin, and has never been graded or slabbed by a third-party grading service. It comes in the full luster and design sharpness as a new government coin.
All dated American Silver Eagle coins awarded by BOLD Precious Metals are obtained from reputable dealer networks. Coins graded BU are in the condition they are; they have no significant wear, toning, or surface damage.
High production years in the Silver Eagle program occurred before and after 2014, but the 2014 issue is unique in terms of context and documentation. Demand for the 2014 American Silver Eagle bullion coin exceeded all previous records, and the American Numismatic Society was hard-pressed to obtain sufficient quantities of planchets.
In 2011, San Francisco was designated as a bullion Silver Eagle maker to meet a surge in demand that began in 2008 and has continued at unprecedented levels. American Silver Eagle sales hit an all-time annual record of 42.675 million in 2013. While the United States Mint could have fulfilled demand, the supply of silver blanks ensured that there were still four systems for allocating silver. The bureau, unlike the small-coin types, does not strike blanks for silver coins but obtains them from a few select vendors.
This tension was clearly felt in January 2014 with the introduction of new-year Silver Eagles. Following a similar trend, the Mint's sales of 2014 began with allocation limits—APs were given a set number of coins per week, instead of the coins being constantly sold as orders came in. The 2014 coins were made at both West Point and San Francisco, and the orders were filled in a random manner from the same batch, or "allocation pool," of 2014 coins.
The total of 44 006 000 is the output of both mints throughout the calendar year. This was the largest annual bullion Silver Eagle production in the history of the series—surpassed only in 2015 when 47 million were produced.
2014 was a year featuring mint mark-free Silver Eagles from both the West Point Mint and the San Francisco Mint. NGC started to identify slight variations in the coins' quality, especially the higher-quality West Point coins. The West Point silver eagles are inserted in tubes by a robot, but San Francisco is hand-inserted. NGC also noticed differences in the serial number codes on the 500-coin Monster Boxes.
The Mint issued ID information based on Monster Box serial numbers due to a Freedom of Information Act request. This disclosure of the F.O.I.A. gives an additional numismatic aspect to the 2014 Silver Eagle that is not seen in most years: collectors who have some knowledge of their Monster Box serial numbers are able to determine which of the two mints produced their coins.
In some cases, the major grading bureau will indicate the mint where the 2014 Silver Eagle was minted, e.g., (S) for San Francisco and (W) for West Point. There is a little more value in the San Francisco variety, as there are fewer coins of this type that have been identified from the Monster Box tracking system. For raw (ungraded) coins as sold here, the mint of origin cannot be determined without the original Monster Box serial number.
The record production years for the Silver Eagle bullion program are: 1st—2015 at 47,000,000 coins; 2nd—2014 at 44,006,000; 3rd—2013 at 42,675,000; 4th—2011 at 40,020,000; 5th—2016 at 37,701,500. The 2014 coin is at the top of a five-year trend of rising demand since 2011. It is particularly significant to collectors and investors who wish to have a coin that captures this era of American precious metals history.
The coin designers were asked to create a design for the new $100 bill. For the new $100 bill, the coin designers were given the job of creating a design.
The obverse is in the form of the Walking Liberty, one of the most popular designs in American numismatic history, originally used for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar issued from 1916 to 1947, and reintroduced on the Silver Eagle program at its inception in 1986.
The front features a portrait of Lady Liberty carrying an American flag, with the sun rising in the background, suggesting a majestic scene. The design on the front depicts a scene with Lady Liberty, who is wearing an American flag, walking gracefully as the sun rises over a ridge. She holds laurel and oak branches symbolizing civil and military glory. On the obverse of the coin are the words LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST as well as the coin's issue year.
The gown of Liberty is marked with Weinman's initials, "AW," that are engraved into the fabric, a small but lasting imprint of the artist's mark, and a link to where it started in 1916. The 2014 design is the original composition of Walking Liberty, unchanged from the program's 1986 premiere.
The 2014 reverse is the original Type 1 design—known as John Mercanti’s Heraldic Eagle—that has produced the program from 1986 through mid-2021 and has not changed for 35 years of production. The back features a heraldic eagle with 13 miniature stars, symbolizing the original colonies. The inscriptions were "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," and "1 OZ. FINE SILVER ONE DOLLAR.
This new artwork by Emily Damstra (2021) features a single eagle on a single oak branch, and a close-up of the portrait is a completely different visual statement. The growth in the gap between pre-2021 and post-2021 mintage is driving a surge in collectors' interest in Type 1 coins. The 2014 Silver Eagle is completely from the Type 1 series.
Coins that are just produced and sent out but never circulated as currency are issued in the standard condition designation of BU (Brilliant Uncirculated). This 2014 BU Silver Eagle was struck at the Mint and was only handled during the minted coin's production and distribution process and was not used as legal tender.
The term BU is not used to refer to a numerically graded or certified coin. Professional numismatic grading services (NGC, PCGS) grade coins on a scale of MS-60 to MS-70, with MS-70 being the highest rating for a perfect coin. Here's to the 2014 BU coins that are NOT certified with a numeric grade by a coin grading service.
The American Silver Eagle 2014 MS70 is never a conditional rarity. There are more PCGS MS70's than MS69s, and NGC is adding approximately 4,600 new MS70's each year. In the first year after release, the average price of MS70s was approximately $46 and MS69s averaged $38. Today, MS70s trade for about $50-$55, while MS69s go for about $30-$35. Raw (ungraded) coins trade for no appreciable premium over spot.
The measurement of BU versus graded doesn't matter for silver investing because they contain the same amount of silver. When a coin collection is graded, it includes a numerical assurance when the grade consistency across a set is important, as in certified coin collecting. These BU coins are the most inexpensive option to own a 2014-dated Silver Eagle.
The 2014 American Silver Eagle is eligible for use in a Self-Directed Precious Metals IRA because it is .999 fine silver, the minimum purity standard set by the IRS. It is one of the most widely recognized silver coins available for IRA use because it is issued by the United States Mint, the sovereign body responsible for minting U.S. coins. Before buying products, make sure you have verified their acceptance by your IRA custodian.
BOLD Precious Metals has an honest buyback program. The American Silver Eagle is the most widely recognized silver coin in the U.S. secondary market—it's a coin that any broker, pawn shop, or bullion dealer in the country will recognize and value with ease. The modest premium of the 2014-dated coin on top of the spot price may be partly due to the collector interest it generated this year and the record production it experienced.
