What is the different between the Eagle and the rounds?
Physically, both are similar; both are 1 troy ounce of 99.9%+ pure silver decorated with artwork, but the U.S. Silver Eagle is more expensive. The Eagle is collectible, and eventually older Eagles are valued higher than newer ones. Because of this effect, the Eagle carries a higher price. Silver rounds are generally valued for their silver content only. Silver rounds provide the most silver for the money, but U.S. Eagles slowly become more valuable over time due to their increased collectible value. Both are good ways to acquire silver.
