• In 1986, the U.S. Mint introduced a limited edition of the world's most popular silver bullion coin -- the legendary Silver Eagle Dollar.
• The coin is minted in one ounce of .9993 pure silver, so it is the largest, heaviest, and purest silver coin in U.S. history.
• The Silver Eagle Dollar is a legal tender United States coin. It has a nominal face value of One Dollar, although its silver value and collector value far exceed its face value.
• All coins are graded on a 70-point scale, with 70 being absolute perfection. It is virtually impossible to find a coin in perfect MS-70, and the few Silver Eagle Dollars from previous years that have achieved this ultimate grade can sell for up to $500 or more.
• This coin is in near-perfect MS-69 condition. It is almost perfect, and it is the highest affordable grade possible. A coin of this quality has absolutely NO visible flaws, so it looks perfect to the naked eye.
• To certify that it is one of the highest graded 2008 Silver Eagle Dollars, it has been independently graded as MS-69 by a team of coin experts. The grading company has no connection with PCH or with FCM, so it is a totally impartial opinion.
• The coin is also encapsulated in a tamper-proof holder to protect its condition for the future.
• Most collectors will never even see a coin of this exceptional quality. It is a rarely-seen high-quality example of one of America's best-loved and most beautiful coins!
• The obverse of the 2008 Silver Eagle Dollar features Adolph A. Weinman's famous "Walking Liberty" design that first appeared on U.S. Silver Half Dollars from 1916-1947. This is one of the most beautiful coin designs of all time, showing Lady Liberty striding forwards in a flowing gown and wrapped by the American flag.
• The reverse depicts a heraldic eagle, together with the U.S. Government's guarantee that the coin contains "1 Oz. Fine Silver" and the face value of "One Dollar."
