Overview
Own a pristine example of one of the most sought-after modern U.S. silver coins. This 1987 Silver American Eagle, designated “(S)” to reflect that this special issue was Struck at San Francisco, has been professionally graded by NGC as MS70, the highest possible mint state grade — flawless to the naked eye. Additionally, it features the exclusive Anna Cabral Signature Series label, adding provenance and appeal for serious collectors.

Design

Why This Piece Stands Out
MS70 Grading: This coin is graded at the very top of the scale. MS70 means no visible flaws under magnification at the standards set by NGC. Perfection in strike, surface, and luster.
San Francisco “(S)”: Though most 1987 Silver Eagles are bullion strikes (without a mint-mark), this example is identified with the “(S)” to reflect that it was Struck at San Francisco, a factor that enhances its collectible appeal when correctly authenticated.
Cabral Signature Series Label: Adds a layer of singled-out authenticity and prestige, often appealing to advanced collectors and investors. Hand-Signed and unique.
Ideal For
Collectors seeking the pinnacle of quality in modern U.S. silver coins.
Those wanting a centerpiece specimen for their Silver Eagle or American coin collections.
Investors who value not just the metal content, but also rarity and grade.
