1986 Silver Eagle GEM Uncirculated - First Year of Issue

The 1986 Silver Eagle is the inaugural release of the American Silver Eagle series. Silver American Eagles are struck in 1 oz. of 99.9% pure silver and measure 40 mm in diameter, making these coins the U.S.'s largest silver dollar series ever. Renowned for its iconic Walking Liberty design, this coin is highly valued by collectors as a cornerstone of modern U.S. silver coinage.

1986 was the first year that the American Silver Eagle was minted. This popular coin series lasted until mid 2021, then the U.S. Mint decided it was time for a design change. Later on this year, all Silver Eagles will bear the new, "Type 2" design.

There is no better Silver Eagle to own than the first year of issue. Once the design of this coin does change later this year, we expect this First Year of Issue piece to get a lot harder to get and a lot more expensive. Add it to your collection while you still can for an affordable price.

Each 1986 Silver Eagle will be in stunning, GEM Uncirculated condition, meaning it will grade in MS65 or higher. Don't forget this coin in MS70 will run you near $1,000!
