Description

First-Year 1986 Silver American Eagle
Struck Through Emery Circle

1986 Silver Eagle--Reverse Struck Through Sanding Disk--MS68 NGC. What NGC describes as a "sanding disk" is actually a circle of emery paper, used to prepare the Uncirculated versions of the silver American Eagles. Coins would be struck deliberately through the emery paper to impart texture to them. While those coins ordinarily would be condemned and melted, this error and its heavily textured reverse escaped to the outside world. Peripheral tan-orange and violet shadings add color to each side.
