The 2017 Silver American Eagle graded MS70 by PCGS represents the highest possible grade on the Sheldon scale, certifying that the coin is absolutely perfect with no post-production imperfections visible under 5x magnification. Struck by the United States Mint in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, the American Eagle is one of the most widely recognized silver coins in the world. The First Strike designation indicates that the coin was submitted to and received by PCGS within the first 30 days of the issue date, reflecting both early production quality and collector demand for documented release timing.
We carry this coin for buyers who want the combination of a government-issued silver bullion coin and professional third-party grade certification in a single, encapsulated package.

The PCGS holder provides tamper-evident protection and a certified record of the coin's condition, making it a straightforward choice for collectors and buyers who prioritize grade integrity.
The American Eagle Silver bullion coin program launched in 1986 under the Liberty Coin Act, which directed the United States Mint to produce silver coins using metal sourced from the Defense National Stockpile. The obverse design draws from Adolph A. Weinman's 1916 Walking Liberty half dollar, widely regarded as one of the most artistically accomplished designs in American coinage history. The reverse was designed by John Mercanti and depicts a heraldic eagle, a motif that has anchored the coin's identity since the first issue.
By 2017, the American Eagle Silver program had run continuously for over three decades, accumulating one of the strongest track records of any government silver bullion coin in terms of production volume and global distribution. The United States Mint produces these coins at facilities in West Point and San Francisco, with West Point bearing primary production responsibility for bullion strikes. Annual mintages have ranged dramatically depending on market conditions, which influences both the scarcity and the collector premium of specific date issues over time.
The obverse of the 2017 Silver American Eagle features Weinman's Walking Liberty, a full-length portrait of Lady Liberty striding confidently forward, draped in an American flag, with her right hand extended toward the rising sun. The design is deeply symbolic and compositionally dynamic, with strong relief and fine detail across Liberty's robes, the flag folds, and the sunburst horizon. Inscriptions read "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the year of issue.
The reverse carries John Mercanti's heraldic eagle design, featuring a bald eagle behind a shield with a banner reading "E PLURIBUS UNUM" above it and thirteen stars representing the original colonies. Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," and "ONE DOLLAR," the latter reflecting its status as legal tender. At the MS70 grade, every design element retains full mint luster and sharpness, with no contact marks, hairlines, or surface breaks of any kind.
The 2017 Silver American Eagle is struck to exacting specifications by the United States Mint, with each coin containing exactly one troy ounce of .999 fine silver and carrying an implicit guarantee of weight and purity backed by the federal government. The coin's specifications are struck directly into the metal and confirmed by both the issuing authority and the PCGS grading process. PCGS independently evaluates each coin for authenticity, weight, and surface condition before assigning a grade and sealing the coin in a sonically sealed, tamper-evident holder.
As authorized PCGS dealers, we handle certified coins according to established standards that preserve the integrity of the holder and the grade. The encapsulated format eliminates handling concerns and removes the need for additional authentication steps at the point of purchase. Buyers receive a coin whose grade, authenticity, and metallic content have been independently verified by one of the most respected grading services in the numismatic industry.
MS70, or Mint State Perfect, is the pinnacle of the Sheldon grading scale. A coin graded MS70 by PCGS exhibits absolutely no post-production imperfections under 5x magnification, with full, original mint luster and perfectly struck design elements across the entire surface. For a high-relief, detailed coin like the American Eagle, achieving MS70 requires exceptional die quality, precise striking pressure, and careful handling from the moment the coin leaves the press.
The First Strike designation is applied to coins certified within the first 30 days of the issue date, and PCGS documents this designation on a special label within the holder. The coin ships sealed in its original PCGS sonically sealed slab, which includes a label identifying the coin's name, date, grade, and First Strike designation. The holder itself provides rigid, archival-quality protection and does not require any additional packaging for safe handling or storage. No raw coin handling is necessary or recommended after certification.
Pricing for a PCGS MS70 First Strike American Eagle reflects several layered components: the spot price of silver, the standard bullion premium associated with the American Eagle series, and the certified grade premium attached to a perfect, population-dependent MS70 specimen. The grade premium above standard bullion pricing can shift meaningfully based on PCGS population reports, as changes in the number of MS70 examples certified for a given year directly influence how collectors and buyers perceive relative scarcity.
Our pricing is updated in real time and reflects current wholesale market conditions rather than static retail markups. The bid and ask spread displayed on our product page gives buyers an immediate, transparent view of both the purchase price and the current buyback value, which is especially useful for a certified coin whose premium is sensitive to collector demand and population changes.
The American Eagle Silver is one of the most liquid silver coins in the global market, recognized by dealers, collectors, and wholesale buyers across virtually every trading environment. At the MS70 grade with the First Strike designation, the coin carries added appeal to registry set collectors and date-specific buyers, which can support a narrower audience compared to raw bullion but a more dedicated one. Liquidity for certified coins is generally strongest when population reports are stable and collector interest in a particular year's release remains active.
We operate a two-way market that supports both buying and selling within the same platform. Our buyback pricing for certified American Eagles reflects current wholesale conditions, and customers who want to understand the resale side before committing to a purchase can view the current bid price directly on the product page. Knowing both sides of the transaction before purchasing is a straightforward way to evaluate the full cost of ownership.
The combination of government issuance, .999 fine silver content, and a perfect PCGS grade makes this coin appealing to buyers who want more than standard bullion. The MS70 grade removes any uncertainty about condition, and the PCGS holder eliminates the friction of independent authentication. For buyers building a date set of certified American Eagles, the 2017 is a straightforward addition that fits into an established and widely recognized collecting framework.
The First Strike designation adds a layer of collector documentation that raw coins cannot provide. For buyers who prioritize verifiable provenance and early release status, the designation reflects a documented relationship between the coin's production date and its certification timeline. This makes the 2017 MS70 First Strike a more precisely defined piece than a standard certified example without the designation.
We are authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, which means we handle and sell certified coins with full awareness of grading standards, holder integrity, and population dynamics. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and membership in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect a consistent commitment to professionalism across every transaction. We do not take shortcuts on sourcing or authenticity verification, and we back every sale with responsive customer support.
Transparency is central to how we operate. The bid and ask spread on every product page gives buyers immediate clarity on both acquisition and resale pricing. We do not rely on pressure-based sales practices or opaque pricing structures. Whether you are adding a single certified coin to an existing collection or evaluating this product as part of a broader purchasing decision, the information you need to act with confidence is available before you check out.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including certified coins like this 2017 PCGS MS70 First Strike. Rather than relying on static retail prices, Pro members see real-time wholesale pricing that reflects actual supply and demand conditions, giving a clearer picture of where the market currently sits for a specific product. For certified American Eagles, where grade premiums and population data can shift pricing meaningfully, access to live wholesale pricing adds a layer of market visibility that static listings cannot provide.
Pro also includes real-time portfolio valuation based on current wholesale bid pricing, along with proprietary research tools that allow members to compare premiums, bid/ask spreads, and historical pricing trends across products. For a certified coin where the premium above melt is a significant portion of the total price, understanding how that premium has moved historically and where it stands relative to the broader market helps buyers make decisions grounded in objective data rather than marketing claims.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make every transaction as straightforward as possible. Buyers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, or bank-connected payments through Plaid for direct account transfers. Wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments through BitPay are also accepted for buyers who prefer those options.
