2013 $1 US American Silver Eagle ~ PCGS MS70 ~ First Strike ~ Signed by Mercanti

The 2013 Silver American Eagle, known for its iconic design featuring Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle with a shield on the reverse, is a highly sought-after coin among collectors and investors. The term "First Strike" refers to coins that are among the very first produced during a particular minting year, often implying a higher quality and potentially greater value than standard issues. The U.S. Mint certifies these coins, grading them based on their condition, which is crucial for collectors.

The 2013 issue stands out due to its limited mintage and the Start of the Bullion Coin program in 1986, which has made the Silver Eagle a staple in the numismatic community.
