The 1986 American Silver Eagle was the first year of issue for the U.S. Mint’s Silver Eagle bullion program. These coins were introduced following the Liberty Coin Act of 1985 and were struck for investment purposes rather than circulation.
MS-69 indicates a near-perfect Mint State coin with full luster and only very minor imperfections visible under magnification.
