2017 Silver Eagle FDI John Mercanti

Description

2017 American Silver Eagle, First Day Issue, John Mercanti Signature, PCGS MS70. This exceptional 2017 Silver Eagle represents a premium example of the modern American bullion series, certified by PCGS as a perfect MS70 specimen. The coin features the iconic obverse design by Adolph A. Weinman and the eagle reverse, with this particular issue notable for its First Day Issue (FDI) designation and association with renowned mint engraver John Mercanti. The MS70 grade represents the highest numerical grade assigned by PCGS, indicating a coin of flawless quality with no visible imperfections under magnification. This designation is particularly significant for modern bullion issues, as achieving perfect grades becomes increasingly scarce with each release. The FDI designation adds collector appeal, marking this as among the earliest strikes from the 2017 production run. The American Silver Eagle series remains one of the most actively collected modern U.S. coins, combining government-backed bullion status with numismatic appeal. A perfect grade example of this popular series, particularly with FDI credentials, represents an exceptional acquisition for both bullion investors and serious collectors of modern coinage.
