1987 "Silver" Eagle, MS63
Struck on a 3M Emery Disc

1987 $1 Silver Eagle -- Struck on a 3M Emery Disc -- MS63 PCGS. Lot 7670 in our January 2007 FUN Signature was a silver eagle whose obverse was struck through an unpeeled emery disc. The present lot presents the other half of that situation, an emery disc struck between the obverse die and a silver eagle planchet. The emery disc overlapped one side of a silver eagle planchet before the strike, and the two were fed together for the strike. The emery disc separated from the coin after the strike. The obverse shows the dark gray color and granular texture of the emery disc, but all major design details are evident, including the date. The finely-grained tan-brown reverse shows only a faint incused and reversed impression of the obverse, as struck through the disc, along with a couple of letters and numbers as printed on the emery disc prior to the strike.
