1987-S Proof Silver Eagle (Box & COA)

Building on the success of the program's inaugural release, the 1987-S Proof Silver Eagle continues the legacy of America's premier silver bullion coin series. Struck at the San Francisco Mint with frosted devices and deeply mirrored fields, this second-year proof is both a collector's favorite and a beautiful example of the U.S. Mint's craftsmanship. Housed in its original presentation box and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), this piece is ideal for those seeking continuity in their Silver Eagle collection.

Historical Insight:

As the second release in the Proof Silver Eagle series, the 1987-S holds significance as a testament to the program's early popularity and growing demand among collectors. While not a key date, its status as a low-mintage, early-series proof makes it a highly desirable continuation of a modern classic. When paired with the 1986-S, it helps form the foundation of a complete Proof Silver Eagle collection.
