2017 (S) 1 oz Silver American Eagle $1 Coin PCGS MS 70

2017 (S) 1 oz Silver American Eagle $1 Coin PCGS MS 70

The American Silver Eagle 1 oz Coin produced by U.S.Mint is one of the most popular silver bullion in the industry. From the first release in 1986 through the latest one in 2017, the US Mint has made over 337,562,000 of these silver coins. Timeless, recognizable design of Lady Liberty, high-quality production and a trusted brand has made the American Silver Eagle one of the most desirable additions to any precious metals collection.

Since 2001, these coins were minted at the West Point facility but when production capacity lagged the Mint also used its San Francisco location. There are so many points that will make this 2017 1 oz Silver American Eagle $1 Coin PCGS MS 70 very popular among collectors and investors: great content, high quality, and weight, which are all verified by the PCGS grading service.

PCGS and NGC can now identify 2014-2017 Silver American Eagles with their Mint location. During those years, the production of Silver American Eagles traditionally took place at the West Point Mint facility, which is also home to a strategic bullion depository. However, facing a record demand for American Eagles, the U.S. Mint decided to use its San Francisco facility in 2011 and Philadelphia facility in 2015. Despite their location of origin, the mintmark on all American Silver Eagles was omitted.

The coins struck at the Philadelphia facility were sealed in monster boxes that said “West Point Mint,” making it difficult to identify where those coins were actually produced. Previously unknown Philadelphia Silver American Eagles became one of the biggest surprises for the numismatic world and the lowest mintage in the 31-year history of the American Eagles. They were identified through their 5 digit serial numbers on the box that began with the #1.

The details about the mintage facility were not released to the public until 2017. For that reason, the Mint location could only be known with the information on their 500-coin packaging boxes, commonly called “monster boxes”. Thus PCGS and NGC were able to apply the appropriate mint mark to their labels. The method used by NGC and PCGS is as follows:

1. 2015 Philadelphia Mint boxes (79,640 pieces only) have a five-digit serial number starting with the number 1. Important: Do not confuse this with boxes that have the "WP" prefix, which are struck at the West Point Mint.

2. 2017 West Point Mint boxes have a six-digit serial number starting with the numbers 1, 2, and 3, or a five-digit serial number starting with the prefix WP.

3. 2017 San Francisco Mint boxes have a six-digit serial number starting with the number 4.

The Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) subsumes these coins with a mintmark and the facility name, for example, a coin struck at the San Francisco Mint in 2017 will be described as a “2017 (S) EAGLES S1”. This title comes with NGC designations and other special labels. The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) provides the mint attribution by using “S” for San Francisco, “P” for Philadelphia, “W” for West Point, e.g. 2017-(W) and their original labels. Bullion Exchanges is delighted to offer our customers the entire collection of PCGS/NGC graded Silver American Eagles with the mint locations revealed.
