1 oz American Eagle 2026 NGC MS70 First Day of Issue $1

The 1 oz American Eagle 2026 NGC MS70 First Day of Issue coin is the absolute highlight of modern investment coins in the numismatic world this year. The year 2026 is also exceptional.

This year we have a double anniversary for this Eagle.

The year 2026 is a unique “coincidence” of anniversaries in numismatics:

250 years of the USA (Semiquincentennial – anniversary of independence).

40 years of the Silver Eagle (anniversary of the coin itself).

NGC TOP POP Certification:

MS70 (Mint State 70): This is the highest possible grade of preservation. This means that the coin is absolutely perfect even when magnified 5x. It has no scratches, manufacturing defects, or signs of handling. This means that these perfectly minted coins have ZERO imperfections - displaying all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.

NGC: Numismatic Guaranty Company. One of the two most prestigious independent certification authorities in the world. The coin in their “slab” (plastic case) is guaranteed to be authentic and of high quality.

First Day of Issue: The fact that this is a “first day of issue” combined with the anniversary label places it in the highest collector category for that year. The first day of minting naturally involves the use of the sharpest die.

Design:

Obverse: The classic “Walking Liberty” by Adolph A. Weinman - represents the personification of Liberty, a symbol of the United States and liberation, walking with the attributes of peace: an olive branch and a torch. Under her feet we see the US Capitol with a sunrise in the background. It is interesting that 2026 is a jubilee year.

Reverse: Since 2021, the new “Eagle Landing” design by Emily Damstra has been used. In addition to the bird, we also see one of the slogans from the Declaration of Independence: “E pluribus unum”.

1 troy ounce (31.1 g) of pure silver with a purity of .999Ag.
