The 2014 Silver American Eagle graded MS70 by PCGS represents the top of the grading scale for one of the most recognized silver coins produced by the United States Mint. Struck in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this is the highest purity silver American Eagles are produced in, and the MS70 designation confirms that the coin is entirely free of post-production imperfections under magnification. The First Strike designation indicates the coin was submitted to PCGS within the first 30 days of the mint's release, a detail that carries meaningful significance within the certified coin market.
We carry certified American Eagles because they represent a defined, authenticated standard that removes the uncertainty common in the secondary market. The PCGS holder provides tamper-evident protection alongside a grading record tied to that specific coin.

The American Eagle silver coin program was authorized by the Liberty Coin Act of 1985 and the first coins were released in 1986. Since then, the program has produced coins every year without interruption, making it one of the longest-running and most consistently issued silver coin series in the world. The United States Mint strikes these coins at the West Point Mint facility, which has handled the majority of American Eagle production throughout the program's history.
By 2014, the Silver American Eagle had firmly established itself as the benchmark sovereign silver coin in the domestic market. Annual mintage figures for the 2014 issue reached over 44 million coins, reflecting both strong institutional and retail demand. Despite that mintage volume, MS70-graded examples represent only a fraction of total production, as achieving a perfect grade requires that every coin pass through striking, handling, and encapsulation without a single contact mark or surface flaw.
PCGS, the Professional Coin Grading Service, was founded in 1986 and played a central role in standardizing numismatic grading. Their grading standards are widely recognized across the industry, and their certified holders are accepted by dealers, auction houses, and collectors without question. The First Strike designation was established to recognize early-release coins submitted promptly after a mint's official release date, and it has become a consistently tracked attribute among collectors of modern bullion coinage.
The obverse of the Silver American Eagle features Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty design, originally created for the half dollar coin series that ran from 1916 to 1947. The depiction shows Liberty in full stride, draped in an American flag with her arm outstretched toward a rising sun. The composition conveys motion and purpose with exceptional sculptural quality, and many numismatists consider it among the finest designs in American coinage history.
The reverse carries John Mercanti's heraldic eagle design, which was standard on Silver American Eagles through 2021. The design features a detailed bald eagle with a shield on its chest, holding an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other, with a half circle of stars above. Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 OZ. FINE SILVERONE DOLLAR," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM." The coin's nominal face value of one dollar reflects its legal tender status under United States law.
In MS70 condition, every design element is rendered with full, sharp detail and the surfaces show no signs of contact, abrasion, or toning. The PCGS encapsulation preserves that state permanently, allowing the coin to be handled and stored without risk of surface degradation.
The United States Mint strikes Silver American Eagles under strict federal oversight, with weight and purity guaranteed by the United States government. Each coin is struck in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver and carries that guarantee as part of its legal issuance. This government-backed purity standard eliminates the need for independent assay verification that is standard practice for privately minted products.
PCGS authentication adds a second layer of verification. Every coin graded by PCGS is examined by professional numismatists and encapsulated in a sonically sealed, tamper-evident holder that includes a unique certification number. That number can be cross-referenced on the PCGS database to confirm the grade, variety, and First Strike designation. We are an authorized PCGS dealer, which means the certified coins we carry are handled and sold in full compliance with PCGS standards.
MS70 is the highest grade on the 70-point Sheldon coin grading scale. A coin assigned this grade by PCGS exhibits no post-production flaws of any kind under 5x magnification, with fully struck details and surfaces that are as pristine as when the coin left the die. For a high-mintage bullion coin like the Silver American Eagle, achieving MS70 is not guaranteed by production volume, making certified examples meaningfully distinct from their raw counterparts.
The First Strike designation confirms the coin was submitted to PCGS within 30 days of the 2014 issue date. PCGS verifies submission timing and reflects this on both the label and the certification record. The coin ships in its original PCGS plastic slab with the certification label visible through the holder, providing both display quality and long-term protection without requiring any additional handling or storage materials from the buyer.
The base pricing of any Silver American Eagle moves in line with the spot price of silver, which fluctuates continuously based on global supply and demand, currency movements, and broader commodity market conditions. Beyond the metal content, a certified MS70 First Strike commands a premium above both raw bullion and lower-grade certified examples. That premium reflects the scarcity of perfect-grade coins within a given year's production, the cost of professional grading and encapsulation, and sustained collector demand for top-pop certified examples.
Premiums on certified American Eagles tend to be more stable than those on raw bullion during periods of market volatility because the numismatic demand for MS70 coins operates somewhat independently of spot price fluctuations. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured to be clear and transparent, so buyers understand both the metal value and the certified premium they are acquiring.
PCGS-certified Silver American Eagles trade actively across a broad range of channels, including dealer networks, auction platforms, and direct resale marketplaces. The standardized one-ounce weight, government-guaranteed purity, and PCGS certification number each contribute to the coin's recognizability and ease of resale. Buyers in the secondary market can verify the coin's grade and designation instantly through the PCGS database, which reduces friction in private transactions.
We operate a two-way market that allows customers to both purchase and sell certified products within the same platform. Liquidity is a consideration we encourage buyers to evaluate before completing a purchase, not after. Understanding current bid pricing alongside the ask price gives a more complete picture of the total cost of ownership for any certified coin.
For collectors seeking a certified example of a classic modern issue, the 2014 PCGS MS70 First Strike offers a combination of attributes that few coins in this category can match. The underlying Walking Liberty design is widely regarded as one of the strongest in American numismatic history, and the MS70 grade ensures the example you receive captures that design at its absolute finest. The First Strike label adds a layer of documentation that distinguishes it further within the 2014 series.
The PCGS certification eliminates condition uncertainty entirely. When buying a raw coin, even one described as uncirculated, there is inherent subjectivity in how the term is applied. An MS70 label from PCGS removes that ambiguity with professional third-party authentication and a permanent certification record. For buyers who place value on certainty, documented provenance, and display quality, a certified MS70 is a materially different product than any raw alternative.
We have been operating in the physical precious metals market since 2010, and our approach has always centered on transparency rather than pressure. Pricing reflects real-time market conditions, and we display the bid/ask spread on each product page so buyers can evaluate the full transaction, not just the purchase price. That kind of pricing clarity is something we consider foundational rather than optional.
As an authorized dealer for both PCGS and NGC, we handle certified coins in accordance with grading service standards and stand behind the authenticity of every product we sell. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect the consistency with which we have operated over more than a decade. Whether a customer is making their first certified coin purchase or expanding an established collection, the experience is designed to be straightforward from first click to delivery.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing, which is particularly relevant for certified coins where premiums can shift based on changes in collector demand, PCGS population reports, and wholesale market activity. Rather than relying on static retail pricing, Pro members see real-time market pricing that reflects actual supply and demand conditions in the wholesale precious metals market. Portfolio valuations are calculated using current wholesale bid pricing, giving a more grounded view of liquidation value than estimated retail prices provide.
For a product like the 2014 PCGS MS70 First Strike, where the certified premium is an important part of the total cost, having access to historical premium data, spread analysis, and proprietary market intelligence through Bullion Standard Pro helps buyers better understand how that premium behaves over time. The platform is built to reduce information asymmetry and give members the kind of analytical clarity that has traditionally been available only to institutional participants in the precious metals market.
We support a broad range of payment methods to accommodate how different buyers prefer to transact. Accepted options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments through BitPay. Each method is supported within a secure transaction environment designed to protect both the buyer and the integrity of the order.
Choosing the right payment method can also affect the final price, as certain options carry lower processing costs that are reflected in the total at checkout. We structure payment options to give buyers genuine flexibility without sacrificing the security and reliability that every transaction requires.
