1986 was the very first year the United States Mint issued Silver American Eagles. The 1986-S Silver American Eagle Proof is an important issue in the Silver American Eagle series. Many collectors strive to own these first-year issues in flawless PF70 Ultra Cameo grade, but with only about 5% of the original mintage achieving that status they can be challenging to locate. That's why these types of coins are considered 'investment-grade' coins.
For a coin to achieve a flawless PF70 grade by NGC it must have ZERO post-production imperfections at 5x magnification. With proof coins having vibrant mirror-like finishes the surfaces of the coins are very delicate and are susceptible to fingerprints and scratches.
This particular specimen is not only certified PF70 Ultra Cameo, but it is also 1 of just 152 coins hand-signed by 42nd U.S. Treasurer Anna Cabral. This is an incredibly low population for a 1986-S Proof Silver Eagle Signature Series coin. Keep in mind that John Mercanti has signed over 4,700 1986-S Silver Eagles in PF 70 and they are being sold on online auction sites for over $1,000.
Signature Series coins have become a huge part of the coin collecting world. Some of them are very rare and very hard to get. Especially popular issues like these first-year issues. Because of this coin’s scarcity, NGC lists the retail price guide of this coin at $3,000. We are fortunate enough to have located a small group of these low populated rarities for considerably less.
