1987 Silver Eagle Mike Castle

Description

1987 Silver Eagle, NGC MS-70. This exceptional 1987 American Silver Eagle represents the pinnacle of the series' early production years, certified by NGC as a flawless MS-70 specimen. The coin exhibits the perfect strike and luster that defines the highest echelon of the Silver Eagle series, with fully frosted devices contrasting beautifully against mirror fields characteristic of superior examples from this vintage. The 1987 date falls within the formative years of the modern Silver Eagle program, which commenced in 1986. Coins achieving the MS-70 designation at this early stage of the series are particularly notable, as they demonstrate exceptional preservation and quality control. The obverse features John Mercanti's iconic eagle design, while the reverse displays Adolph Weinman's heraldic eagle, both rendered with pristine detail and eye appeal. NGC Certificate #9808 provides the authentication and grading verification for this premium specimen. MS-70 examples of early-date Silver Eagles are sought after by both type collectors and series specialists, particularly when combined with strong eye appeal and original surfaces.
