The 2017 Silver American Eagle graded NGC MS70 represents the highest grade achievable under the Numerical Grading Scale, certifying that this coin is completely free of any post-production imperfections when examined under five-times magnification. Struck by the United States Mint in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, the American Eagle is one of the most widely held silver coins in the world, carrying legal tender status with a face value of one dollar. This particular example has been independently evaluated by the Numismatic Guaranty Company and sealed in a tamper-evident holder that preserves its condition indefinitely.
We carry this coin as an authorized NGC dealer, which means the certification and encapsulation you receive reflects the same grading standards applied across the professional numismatic community. For collectors and buyers who place a premium on documented perfection, the MS70 designation removes any ambiguity about the coin's condition at the time of certification.

For collectors and buyers who place a premium on documented perfection, the MS70 designation removes any ambiguity about the coin's condition at the time of certification.
The American Eagle silver bullion coin program was authorized by the Liberty Coin Act of 1985 and launched with the first release in 1986. The series was created to provide American buyers with a domestically produced silver bullion coin backed by the full authority of the United States government, with metal content, weight, and purity guaranteed by federal law. That mandate has remained unchanged through every subsequent annual release.
The 2017 edition continues the uninterrupted run of American Eagle silver coins produced at the West Point Mint, which has served as the primary production facility for the series for most of its history. Each year's release carries a date that ties it to a specific chapter in the program's ongoing production record, making the 2017 issue a distinct year within a series that spans nearly four decades.
The American Eagle program has evolved through several design updates, security enhancements, and production refinements over the years, though its foundational identity has remained consistent. The combination of government-backed purity, annual production dating, and widespread global recognition has kept the series at the center of the silver bullion market since its inception.
The obverse of the American Eagle silver coin features Adolph A. Weinman's iconic Walking Liberty design, originally introduced on the half dollar coin in 1916. The design depicts Liberty striding forward with her right hand outstretched and the American flag draped across her shoulders, projecting a sense of purpose and forward movement. The inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST" accompany the figure, along with the year of issue.
The reverse was designed by John Mercanti and features a heraldic eagle with a shield at its chest, holding an olive branch in one talon and a bundle of arrows in the other. Thirteen stars representing the original colonies arc above the eagle, with the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," and "ONE DOLLAR" completing the composition. The reverse design has remained consistent throughout the series, giving the American Eagle a visual continuity that collectors and buyers recognize immediately.
On an MS70-graded example, the full detail of both designs is rendered without compromise. The strike is sharp, the surfaces are pristine, and the luster is exactly as the United States Mint intended. The NGC holder frames the coin without any contact with its surfaces, preserving the condition that earned the perfect grade.
Every American Eagle silver coin is produced by the United States Mint with weight and purity guaranteed by federal law, making this one of the most trusted sovereign-issued silver products on the market. The .999 fine silver content and one troy ounce weight are statutory requirements, not merely manufacturing targets. For graded examples, the NGC encapsulation process provides a second layer of verification, with each coin examined by professional numismatists before being sealed in a sonically bonded holder that is both tamper-evident and airtight.
As an authorized NGC dealer, we handle graded products with the care their condition demands. The NGC label on each holder includes the coin's year, series, grade, and a unique certification number that can be verified directly through NGC's online registry. This eliminates any uncertainty about the authenticity or grade of the coin you are purchasing.
The MS70 grade assigned by NGC means this coin was found to be in perfect mint state condition, with no post-production flaws of any kind visible under five-times magnification. This is the ceiling of the grading scale, and coins that achieve it represent a small fraction of any given year's mintage. The grade is a permanent part of the coin's record, documented in NGC's registry and tied to the specific certification number on the label.
Graded coins are delivered in their original NGC holders, which provide both protection and display functionality. The sonically bonded plastic slab encases the coin without direct contact and is designed to resist tampering while remaining transparent on both sides. No additional handling, cleaning, or preparation is needed after receipt, as the holder maintains the coin in the exact condition it was in when graded.
The base price of this coin is anchored to the current spot price of silver, which fluctuates continuously with global market conditions. The premium above spot for an MS70-graded American Eagle reflects several compounding factors: the cost of the raw coin itself, NGC's grading and encapsulation fees, the relative scarcity of perfect-grade examples within any given year's production, and collector demand for the MS70 designation specifically.
Premiums for graded coins are typically higher than those for raw bullion, and within the MS70 tier, pricing tends to be more sensitive to collector demand than to silver spot alone. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is displayed with the transparency you need to understand the full cost of what you are purchasing, including the bid/ask spread visible on the product page.
The Silver American Eagle is one of the most recognizable and actively traded silver coins in the world, and the NGC MS70 designation adds a layer of numismatic identity that appeals to a distinct segment of the market. Raw American Eagles trade primarily on metal content and spot price; graded MS70 examples carry a collector premium that introduces a separate demand dynamic. Both dimensions of the coin's value are relevant when thinking about resale.
We operate a two-way market that allows customers to both buy and sell within the same platform. For graded coins like this one, understanding where the bid sits relative to the ask gives you a clearer picture of the total cost of ownership before you commit to a purchase. Our product pages display the current bid/ask spread so that information is available upfront rather than discovered later.
For buyers who want a silver American Eagle with a documented, certified grade rather than a raw bullion coin, the NGC MS70 designation provides the highest level of assurance available. The 2017 issue is a specific, date-identifiable year within one of the most storied silver coin series in American history, and the MS70 grade ensures that the example you receive is as close to perfection as the grading industry recognizes.
The combination of government-issued silver content, annual date specificity, and professional grading makes this coin appealing both as a precise addition to a graded coin registry set and as a tangible silver holding with documented condition. The NGC holder removes any question about what you are receiving, and the certification number ties the coin permanently to a verifiable public record. For buyers who find that certainty meaningful, the premium over raw bullion reflects a real and quantifiable difference in the product.
We are an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, which means the graded coins we carry meet the same authentication standards that professional numismatists and institutional buyers rely on. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association, and membership in the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect a long-standing commitment to conducting business transparently and professionally. These credentials are not marketing claims; they are verifiable, third-party acknowledgments of how we operate.
Our approach to pricing is built around transparency rather than obscuring the cost structure behind marketing language. The bid/ask spread, premium above spot, and current market pricing for each product are displayed openly so you can evaluate what you are paying with clear, current information. We do not rely on pressure-based sales tactics or manufactured urgency, and our customer service team is accessible before, during, and after the purchase to answer questions specific to the products you care about.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a broad range of silver products, including graded American Eagles. For coins where the premium above spot and the spread between buy and sell prices carry real significance, having access to live wholesale market data provides a materially different level of visibility than a standard retail listing. Members can evaluate the current cost structure of this product in real time and compare it against historical premium data and spread analysis to make more informed decisions.
Pro members also benefit from real-time portfolio valuation based on current wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving a more accurate picture of where holdings stand in the current market. For collectors and buyers who hold multiple graded coins or track their silver positions actively, these tools bring a level of analytical clarity to the physical metals space that is typically hard to find in one place.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make every transaction as convenient and secure as possible. Accepted payment options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover credit cards, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments processed through BitPay. Each method is handled through a secure transaction environment designed to protect your information and give you confidence throughout the checkout process.
Whether you prefer the speed of a wire transfer, the flexibility of a credit card, or the privacy of cryptocurrency, we have structured our payment infrastructure to accommodate a broad range of preferences. Our goal is to eliminate friction from the purchase process so that once you have made your decision, completing the transaction is straightforward and reliable.
