1986-S Proof Silver Eagle 1 oz George Casey

Description

1986-S Proof Silver Eagle, 1 oz, PCGS PR70. This exceptional 1986-S Proof Silver Eagle represents one of the finest examples of the second-year issue in the modern American Eagle program. The coin displays the iconic obverse design by Adolph A. Weinman featuring Liberty in profile, paired with John Mercanti's majestic reverse eagle design that has become synonymous with American numismatic excellence. Certified by PCGS as PR70, this specimen achieves the highest grade designation, indicating perfect striking and handling characteristics with no visible imperfections under magnification. The brilliant mirror fields contrast sharply with the frosted design elements, creating the distinctive cameo effect prized by collectors of proof coinage. The 1986-S proof represents an important early entry in the Silver Eagle series, with the San Francisco Mint's "S" mintmark denoting its origin. This pristine example would serve as an outstanding addition to any Silver Eagle collection or as a cornerstone piece for those seeking the finest quality from the program's formative years. The combination of early date, perfect grade, and silver content makes this a highly desirable offering for serious collectors. PCGS Certificate #816162
