Ms 69 Appraisal

2006 American Silver Eagle - MS 69 (NGC Graded)

This is a 2006 American Silver Eagle bullion coin, struck in one ounce of .999 fine silver. The coin features the iconic Adolph A. Weinman 'Walking Liberty' design on the obverse, depicting Lady Liberty draped in the American flag, walking toward the sun. This specific specimen has been professionally authenticated and graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). The red label indicates a special pedigree: '1 OF FIRST 50,000 STRUCK,' a designation highly valued by modern coin collectors. The coin is graded MS 69 (Mint State 69), representing a near-perfect coin with only infinitesimal flaws invisible to the naked eye. Physically, the coin is 40.6mm in diameter and displays a brilliant uncirculated luster with sharp strikes on the high points of Liberty's gait and the sun's rays. The coin is encased in a tamper-evident, sonically sealed hard plastic 'slab' from NGC, which protects the silver from oxidation and physical wear. The holder shows minor surface scuffing from handling, but the coin itself remains in pristine, graded condition. The reverse, though not fully visible, features the heraldic eagle with a shield, designed by John Mercanti. This item represents a high-quality investment-grade precious metal collectible from the 21st-century United States Mint.
