    Description

    1986 "Silver" Eagle Struck on an Emery Disc

    1986 $1 American Silver Eagle--Reverse Struck on an Emery Disc--PCGS. Although the legends of this piece state it is "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," this coin contains no silver at all, since it was struck on a wafer-thin emery disc. An emery disc is thin, round, granular, and adhesive-backed. It is typically affixed to a buffing wheel, and was presumably used at the Mint to help prepare dies. Somehow, an emery disc with an unpeeled backing covered a silver eagle planchet at the moment of strike. The silver planchet (not included) blocked the obverse die, so the front of this gray-brown piece has a reverse die impression, while the other side shows an incused impression of the reverse along with previous printing on the backing.
    From The Pacific Coast Mint Error Collection.

    The outcome of the auction far exceeded my best hopes and would not likely have been as successful with out your sound advice on where to present the coin and how best to set the reserve. Throughout the process your availability , support and knowledge were exceptional.
