The 1986 American Silver Eagle is the inaugural issue of the now-iconic silver bullion series, certified by PCGS. Struck in .999 fine silver with a face value of $1, it features the classic Walking Liberty design on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. Released on November 24, 1986, it saw a robust mintage with over 5 million uncirculated coins. While proofs are more commonly found in perfect condition, uncirculated coins in the highest MS70 grade are rare, making them highly sought after by collectors and a valuable addition to any collection.
