One troy ounce of .999 fine silver, certified Mint State 70 by NGC with the First Day of Issue designation — NGC confirmed this coin reached its facility and was graded on the actual release date set by the U.S. Mint, the narrowest and most sought-after window in third-party grading. For investors it’s a guaranteed ounce of government-backed silver, and for collectors, a perfect strike paired with a First Day of Issue label puts it among the more limited and closely tracked variants of the year’s release.
Key Features:
- Purity & weight: 1 troy oz of .999 fine silver, $1 face value
- Metal: Silver
- Obverse: Adolph A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty design
- Reverse: Bald eagle in a landing approach
Liberty advances across the obverse wrapped in the folds of an American flag, her right arm extended and her gaze fixed toward a sun breaking over the horizon. Light rays fan out beneath her feet, “LIBERTY” tracks along the upper rim, and “IN GOD WE TRUST” is struck just past her trailing drapery. The 2026 date is set along the bottom edge within the sunburst. The reverse shows a bald eagle with wings raised high and talons dropping toward a landing point, the feather lines on the wings struck with clean, individual separation. “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” runs along the top rim, “E PLURIBUS UNUM” follows the right side, and “ONE DOLLAR” with “1 OZ. FINE SILVER” sit along the bottom.
The coin rests in a clear NGC holder beneath a blue First Day of Issue label, marked with a numeral “1st” graphic, the coin’s date and denomination, the MS 70 grade, and a unique certification number with barcode. The reverse window carries the matching NGC/PNG tamper-evident hologram label, also bearing a certification number and QR code that can be checked against NGC’s online verification system. The holder keeps the coin sealed against handling, fingerprints, and toning while preserving its documented grade and release status.
First Day of Issue coins at a perfect grade tend to be produced in smaller numbers than standard-label examples from the same release, making this one worth considering for a focused date set or a long-term silver holding. Add this 2026 MS70 First Day of Issue Silver Eagle to your cart today before this early-release window sells through.
