1986-S PCGS PR-70 American Silver Eagle Proof Coins For Sale

Encased in an elegant plastic slab by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), these US Mint 1986-S American Silver Eagle Proof Coins are not only graded a perfect PR-70 Deep Cameo, they also are part of the inauguration release of this famed coin program. While PCGS experts assign PR-70 grades to coins that do not display any physical imperfection, they reserve Deep Cameo designations for proofs featuring an elegantly high contrast between the frosted designs and the mirror-finished silver surface.

Seven dealers, including the firm’s present president David Hall, established PCGS in 1985. Considering the fact that PCGS was created with the sole aim of standardizing grading for precious metals collectors and investors, it has built a name for itself as one of the leading authorities on coin grading, certification, and appraisal.

Each of the 1986-S American Silver Eagle Proof Coins contains 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver, carrying a face value of $1 (USD). The great seal of the United States graces the reverse of this coin – the familiar Bald Eagle, with outstretched wings, behind a striped shield, above which, there hover 13 five-pointed stars. John Mercanti created this design in the same year as the issue of this coin. Moreover, it displays the ‘S’ mint mark from San Francisco Mint as well.

These encapsulated 1986-S American Silver Eagle Proof Coins offer a chance to complete collections and bolster precious metals investment assets with perfect specimens from the very first release from the coin program.
