The 2011 Silver American Eagle graded MS70 by NGC represents the pinnacle of the American Eagle silver coin series in certified form. Struck by the United States Mint from one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, the American Eagle is one of the most widely recognized government-issued silver coins in the world. NGC's MS70 designation confirms that this specific example was graded as a perfect specimen at the time of evaluation, with no post-production imperfections visible under standard numismatic examination.
We carry graded American Eagles because they appeal to a distinct segment of the market: buyers who want the assurance of third-party certification combined with the broad recognition of a sovereign-minted bullion coin. The NGC holder provides tamper-evident protection and a permanent, documented grade that travels with the coin regardless of who owns it.
The American Eagle silver coin program was authorized by the Liberty Coin Act of 1985 and began production in 1986. From the outset, the series was designed to offer the public a government-guaranteed silver coin with defined weight and purity

The NGC holder provides tamper-evident protection and a permanent, documented grade that travels with the coin regardless of who owns it.
The American Eagle silver coin program was authorized by the Liberty Coin Act of 1985 and began production in 1986. From the outset, the series was designed to offer the public a government-guaranteed silver coin with defined weight and purity, backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The United States Mint has produced the series continuously since launch, making it one of the longest-running sovereign silver bullion programs currently in existence.
By 2011, the series had firmly established itself as a benchmark for silver bullion coins globally. Annual mintages during this period were among the highest in the series' history, reflecting sustained demand from both domestic buyers and international markets. The West Point Mint served as the primary production facility for bullion strikes during this era, contributing to the consistent quality associated with coins from this period.
NGC, the Numismatic Guaranty Company, was founded in 1987 and has grown into one of the two most respected third-party grading services in the numismatic world. The company's grading standards and encapsulation technology have made its holders a trusted reference point for collectors, dealers, and auction houses worldwide.
The obverse of the American Eagle silver coin features Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty design, originally introduced on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916. The composition depicts a full-length Liberty striding confidently toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag and carrying an oak and laurel branch. It is widely regarded as one of the most artistically accomplished designs ever produced by the United States Mint.
The reverse, designed by John Mercanti, features a heraldic eagle rendered in a classical style. A large shield covers the eagle's breast, and thirteen stars representing the original colonies appear above. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER ONE DOLLAR," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" complete the reverse composition. The combination of classical design and sharp modern minting produces a coin that holds strong visual appeal both inside and outside the numismatic community.
Because this example carries an NGC MS70 grade, it exhibits no contact marks, hairlines, or surface defects visible under magnification. The fields, devices, and edges all meet the standard for a perfect strike with full mint luster intact. The NGC slab preserves that surface condition permanently while allowing the coin to be viewed from both sides without removal.
American Eagles are struck under the authority of the United States Mint, which guarantees the coin's .999 fine silver content and one troy ounce weight by statute. That government guarantee forms the foundation of the coin's credibility in both the bullion and numismatic markets. The NGC MS70 holder adds a second layer of authentication, confirming the coin's identity, grade, and surface integrity through independent third-party evaluation.
We are an authorized dealer for NGC, which means we work directly within NGC's established dealer network and are positioned to offer NGC-graded products with full confidence in their certification. Each NGC holder features tamper-evident seals and security elements that prevent unauthorized opening or substitution. Buyers receive both the United States Mint's metal guarantee and NGC's numismatic certification in a single, self-contained package.
The MS70 grade assigned by NGC designates this coin as a perfect Mint State example. On the 70-point Sheldon scale, MS70 is the highest grade attainable, indicating a coin that is fully struck, free of all post-production marks, and displays complete original mint luster with no imperfections detectable under 5x magnification. For a bullion coin of this type, MS70 examples represent a small fraction of total mintage, as even minor handling or contact during the minting and packaging process is sufficient to drop a coin below this threshold.
This coin ships sealed inside its NGC holder, which serves as both its protective enclosure and its permanent certification document. The holder is sonically sealed and should not be opened, as doing so voids the grade and compromises the coin's certified status. Additional outer packaging is used during shipping to ensure the slab arrives without damage. Because the NGC holder itself functions as the primary protective casing, no further flip or tube packaging is applied to individual graded coins.
Pricing for this coin reflects two distinct components: the underlying silver spot price and the numismatic premium associated with the MS70 grade. The spot price component fluctuates in real time based on global silver market conditions. The numismatic premium above spot is influenced by the relative scarcity of MS70 examples within a given year's mintage, current collector demand for certified American Eagles, and the broader market for NGC-graded coins.
MS70 premiums for American Eagles can vary meaningfully from one year to the next depending on how selectively that year's coins graded. Our pricing reflects current market conditions for both the underlying metal and the certified grade, with no hidden fees layered into the final cost. The bid/ask spread displayed on our product page gives buyers a clear view of both the acquisition price and the current wholesale resale value at any given moment.
Certified American Eagles occupy a well-defined niche in the secondary market. The coin's base metal content gives it a floor tied directly to silver spot prices, while the MS70 certification from NGC creates a secondary demand layer from numismatic buyers and collectors who specifically seek perfect-grade examples. This dual-demand structure distinguishes graded bullion coins from raw bullion and can support premiums above the standard bullion bid under favorable market conditions.
We operate a two-way market that supports both buying and selling within the same platform. When it is time to sell, customers can submit their holdings for a competitive buyback quote without needing to seek out a separate marketplace. Understanding what a coin will bring in the secondary market is part of making an informed purchase decision, and we structure our platform to make that information accessible before, during, and after the transaction.
The appeal of this coin is rooted in the combination of a broadly recognized bullion product and a permanent, documented certification of near-perfect condition. Raw American Eagles are among the most liquid silver coins in the world. When that same coin carries an NGC MS70 grade, it appeals to a wider group of potential buyers, including those who collect certified American Eagles by date, those who specifically seek MS70 examples, and those who want the assurance of third-party authentication without sacrificing the metal's underlying liquidity.
The 2011 date adds specific context. Production volumes during this period were high, but MS70 populations remain a controlled subset of total mintage. Buyers who want a certified, perfect-grade example of an early-2010s American Eagle will find the 2011 issue to be a well-established and recognized date within the series. The NGC holder ensures the coin's documented grade remains intact and transferable through any future resale or exchange.
We have been operating as a precious metals dealer since 2010, and our approach to the business has always centered on transparency rather than pressure. Our pricing is tied directly to real-time market conditions, and the bid/ask spread displayed on each product page reflects what customers can actually expect to receive when they sell, not an inflated retail estimate. That kind of pricing clarity is something we built the platform around from the beginning.
As an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, we carry certified products with the confidence that comes from working directly within established grading service networks. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, along with our memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, reflects a sustained commitment to professional standards and ethical dealing. Every product we offer is verified for authenticity before it reaches a customer.
Our customer support team understands the numismatic and bullion markets and can speak to grading, certification, and pricing without redirecting buyers to generic answers. Whether this is your first graded coin or one of many, the experience is designed to give you the information you need to make a confident decision without any of the pressure tactics common in the broader industry.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a broad range of precious metals products, including certified coins like this NGC MS70 American Eagle. Rather than working from estimated retail values, Pro members can see how a coin is priced and traded at the wholesale level in real time. For graded bullion coins, where premiums and bid/ask spreads can shift meaningfully as collector demand and MS70 population data evolve, that kind of market visibility is particularly useful.
Pro also includes real-time portfolio valuation using live wholesale bid pricing, along with proprietary market intelligence and product research tools that allow members to evaluate premiums, spread tightness, and liquidity across comparable products. For buyers who own or are considering certified American Eagles as part of a larger holding, these tools provide a more complete and honest picture of current market value than any static price list could offer.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make the purchasing process straightforward and secure. Customers can pay using major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency via BitPay.
