Product Details

The 1996 edition of the esteemed Silver American Eagle stands out as a highly sought-after piece for both seasoned collectors and astute investors. Boasting the impressive distinction of a perfect MS70 grade from the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), this coin is recognized for its impeccable quality and undeniable appeal. Crafted in fine .999 silver, this exceptional coin captures the enduring legacy of America's cherished numismatic tradition, making it a brilliant addition to any collection or investment portfolio.

With its striking design, the coin’s obverse features Adolph A. Weinman’s timeless depiction of Lady Liberty draped in the stars and stripes, walking gracefully towards a bright dawn. This image is synonymous with American freedom and progress, echoing sentiments from Weinman's original 1916 "Walking Liberty Half Dollar." The reverse side bears the stately heraldic eagle, designed by John Mercanti, symbolizing the nation's strength and resilience. Intricate details, including the eagle’s outstretched wings and a shield bearing the stars and stripes, enhance its artistic and cultural significance.

The Silver American Eagle series holds a revered place in U.S. Mint’s history, with each coin bearing innovative craftsmanship that stands as a testament to its minting excellence. This 1996 edition, particularly when struck in a year with the lowest mintage in the series, increases its rarity and desirability. The perfect MS70 condition indicates not just visual flawlessness but also protects the coin’s investment potential over time, supported by PCGS certification which assures authenticity and quality.

Given this coin's outstanding purity at .999 silver, it holds significant market appeal as both a precious metal investment and a collectible artifact. Silver, often referred to as a “poor man’s gold,” not only serves as a stable investment option against economic fluctuations but also enjoys widespread industrial uses which boost its demand. As a result, owning a piece like this not only enhances your portfolio with a tangible asset but also connects you with a vibrant legacy of numismatic artistry.

Potential owners would appreciate that, aside from its historical and artistic attributes, this Eagle is securely encased in PCGS plastic, preserving its pristine condition, and providing a tamper-evident guarantee. Its appeal extends beyond collectors to those seeking a secure, aesthetically pleasing asset to pass down through the generations.
