The 2006 American Silver Eagle graded MS70 by PCGS and designated First Strike represents the highest certified grade attainable for a modern United States bullion coin. Struck by the United States Mint in .999 fine silver at a weight of one troy ounce, the American Silver Eagle carries a nominal face value of one dollar and stands as one of the most widely recognized government-issued silver coins in the world. At the MS70 grade level, the coin is certified to be in absolutely perfect mint state condition, free of any post-production imperfections under magnification.
The First Strike designation adds a collectible layer to an already high-grade certification, signifying that the coin was received by PCGS within the first 30 days of the United States Mint's official release window for that year. This combination of perfect grade and early submission status makes the 2006 MS70 First Strike a distinct collectible within the Silver Eagle series, occupying a different tier from standard bullion-grade examples of the same year.
The American Silver Eagle program was authorized by the Liberty Coin Act of 1985

At the MS70 grade level, the coin is certified to be in absolutely perfect mint state condition, free of any post-production imperfections under magnification.
The First Strike designation adds a collectible layer to an already high-grade certification, signifying that the coin was received by PCGS within the first 30 days of the United States Mint's official release window for that year. This combination of perfect grade and early submission status makes the 2006 MS70 First Strike a distinct collectible within the Silver Eagle series, occupying a different tier from standard bullion-grade examples of the same year.
The American Silver Eagle program was authorized by the Liberty Coin Act of 1985 and entered production the following year, with the first coins struck and released in 1986. Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, the series was designed from the outset to serve as a government-issued vehicle for silver ownership, offering a coin with guaranteed weight and purity authenticated at the federal level. The United States Mint at West Point has served as the primary production facility for bullion-finish Silver Eagles throughout the series.
By 2006, the Silver Eagle program had established a two-decade track record as the best-selling silver bullion coin in the United States. Annual mintage figures from this era regularly reached into the tens of millions, reflecting strong collector and bullion demand alike. The introduction of third-party professional grading, particularly PCGS and NGC population data, added a new dimension to the market by allowing the finest surviving examples to be identified, encapsulated, and traded separately from standard bullion inventory.
The obverse of the American Silver Eagle features Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty design, originally introduced on the half dollar in 1916 and widely regarded as one of the finest works in American numismatic art. The composition depicts Liberty in full stride, draped in an American flag, with the sun rising at her back and an oak branch in her outstretched hand. The combination of motion, patriotic symbolism, and finely executed detail gives the design an enduring visual authority that few modern coin series can match.
The reverse was designed by sculptor John Mercanti and features a heraldic eagle with a shield on its breast, clutching arrows and an olive branch while a ring of stars frames the composition above. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," and "ONE DOLLAR" appear in clean relief. In an MS70 specimen, both surfaces are completely free of contact marks, hairlines, or any disturbance, allowing the original mint luster and die detail to be seen in their most pristine form.
Every 2006 Silver Eagle in MS70 First Strike designation has passed PCGS's rigorous grading and authentication process. PCGS graders examine each coin under controlled lighting and magnification before assigning a numeric grade, and the MS70 designation is reserved exclusively for coins showing absolutely no post-production imperfections. Once graded, the coin is sealed within a tamper-evident PCGS plastic holder, commonly referred to as a slab, which physically protects the coin and permanently displays the grade, certification number, and designation.
We are an authorized PCGS dealer, which allows us to offer PCGS-certified products with full confidence in their authenticity and grade integrity. The PCGS certification number on each slab can be verified directly through PCGS's online registry, providing an additional layer of transparency for buyers who want to confirm the coin's grading history before completing a purchase.
MS70, or Mint State Perfect, is the highest grade on the 70-point Sheldon scale used for numismatic grading. A coin certified MS70 by PCGS exhibits no post-production imperfections of any kind when examined under 5x magnification. The strike must be full and sharp, the luster must be complete and undisturbed, and the surfaces must be entirely free of contact marks, hairlines, or handling signs. For a mass-produced bullion coin, achieving MS70 is genuinely exceptional, and the population of certified MS70 examples from any given year represents only a fraction of the total mintage.
This coin ships individually within its PCGS slab. The hard plastic encapsulation protects the coin's surfaces from handling damage and environmental exposure, and it should not be removed from the holder under any circumstances, as doing so would void the certification and almost certainly result in a lower grade upon resubmission. The slab itself will be carefully packaged for secure delivery.
Pricing for a PCGS MS70 First Strike Silver Eagle reflects several compounding factors beyond the underlying silver content. The base silver value, derived from the current spot price of one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, establishes the floor. On top of that, the certified grade and First Strike designation command a significant numismatic premium tied to both the rarity of perfect-grade examples from a given year and the collectible appeal of the First Strike population.
The 2006 Silver Eagle MS70 First Strike occupies a market that is influenced by PCGS population data, collector demand for complete year sets, and the relative availability of MS70 examples from this particular production year. Unlike standard bullion, where premiums track closely with spot price movements, numismatic premiums for certified coins can shift based on collector trends, population changes from new submissions, and activity in the professional numismatic market. Our pricing reflects current market conditions and is updated to remain consistent with where these coins are actively trading.
The American Silver Eagle is one of the most liquid silver coins in existence, and PCGS-certified MS70 examples occupy a recognized and actively traded tier within the broader Silver Eagle market. Dealers, collectors, and auction houses all maintain demand for high-grade certified Silver Eagles, and the combination of First Strike designation and PCGS authentication increases the coin's recognizability among serious numismatic buyers.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can sell as well as buy within the same platform. For certified numismatic coins like this one, understanding the resale environment before purchasing is worth considering alongside the acquisition price. The bid/ask spread displayed on our product page gives a real-time picture of where this specific coin sits in the current market, which is more useful than relying on static price guides alone.
The 2006 Silver Eagle MS70 First Strike offers a specific point of entry into certified Silver Eagle collecting that combines the security of PCGS authentication with the additional distinction of the First Strike population. Collectors who build Silver Eagle sets by date and designation value this coin for its completeness within a systematic collection, while buyers focused on high-grade modern issues benefit from the certainty that PCGS's grading standards bring to a coin of this type.
Unlike raw bullion, a PCGS-certified coin eliminates grade ambiguity entirely. The slab communicates everything a serious buyer needs to know about the coin's condition, and the certification number allows for independent verification. For buyers who want the intrinsic silver content of a one-ounce United States Mint coin combined with the documented quality assurance of a perfect grade, this product occupies a well-defined position in the market.
As an authorized PCGS dealer, we are positioned to offer certified coins with full confidence in their grade integrity and authenticity. Our relationship with PCGS, along with our membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, reflects a commitment to operating at professional standards within the numismatic and bullion space. We maintain an A rating with the Better Business Bureau, which represents a consistent record across years of transactions.
Our pricing is transparent and grounded in current market conditions rather than arbitrary markups. We operate as a two-way market, which means liquidity is a consideration we take seriously on both the buy and sell side. Customers who purchase a certified coin from us have a clear path to understanding its current resale value and accessing a market to sell it when the time comes. Knowledgeable support and reliable fulfillment back every transaction, and the process is designed to give buyers confidence from purchase through delivery.
Bullion Standard Pro provides members with access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing, which is particularly useful for certified numismatic coins where the gap between retail and wholesale pricing can be meaningful. Rather than relying on static price guides or estimated dealer values, Pro members can see exactly where products like the 2006 Silver Eagle MS70 First Strike are priced at the wholesale level in real time, giving them a more accurate foundation for evaluating the cost of ownership and current market value.

For certified coins where premiums fluctuate based on collector demand and population changes, having access to objective data rather than marketing-driven pricing narratives creates a meaningfully better buying and selling experience.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make the transaction process straightforward and secure. Customers can pay using major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, or through PayPal, bank-connected payments via Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency through BitPay.
