Few years in the history of the American Silver Eagle coin program were more tumultuous than 2008. Just as the Great Recession began to grip economies around the world, the United States Mint saw American Silver Eagle demand soar beyond all previous records. The 2008 American Silver Eagle coin is now available for purchase from JM Bullion.

The 2008 American Silver Eagle coin broke a sales record that had stood since 1987, when the coin was in just its second year of availability. Sales of the American Silver Eagle in 1987 totaled 12.3 million coins, with 11.44 million bullion products. Those records stood for 21 years and took the onset of the Great Recession in 2008 to be broken.

2008 American Silver Eagle coin sales totaled 21.8 million coins, nearly double the total from 1987. Much of that growth was due to an immense surge in the demand for bullion coins, with mintage topping that of 1987 for the first time, reaching 20.1 million coins for the year.

The reason for the boost in demand in 2008 was two fold. With the onset of the Great Recession, there was a massive spike in the price of silver to an average price of $13.28 per ounce throughout the year, nearly double that of the prices during the early 2000s. This led to a surge in demand for precious metals, and the US Mint was even forced to suspend bullion coin sales midway through 2008, eventually reinstated sales with a rationed approach.

On the obverse of the coins is the image of Walking Liberty, created in 2008 by Adolph A. Weinman. This revered design first graced the U.S. half dollar coin in 1916. The reverse of the coin includes the heraldic eagle design from John Mercanti, who served as Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 1986 to 2010.

When refused, the package(s) will return to JM Bullion for inspection.

  1. When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).
    • Please note that you will receive a Paid email once your payment is received.
  2. Holding period after cleared payment.
    • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
  3. Shipping method and transit time.
    • UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
    • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.

All packages shipped by JM Bullion are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.
