The Silver Eagle is the only 1 oz Silver bullion coin produced by the United States Mint. All Silver Eagle coins in MintDirect? packaging are guaranteed to be in the exact condition as they came to us from the U.S. Mint.
The U.S. Mint does not sell its bullion coins directly to the public. Instead, they distribute their coins to only a handful of authorized purchasers who then sell the coins to the public. As one of these authorized purchasers, APMEX is able to get coins direct from the U.S. Mint and pass them along to you.
APMEX individually seals each MintDirect? coin to ensure the authenticity and condition after the coins are removed directly from the mint boxes. Each coin is placed in a protective, non-reactive plastic polymer authentication card to protect your coin
