# 2013 Silver Eagle FS John Mercanti

2013-W American Silver Eagle, First Strike (FS), PCGS MS70

This exceptional 2013-W American Silver Eagle represents the pinnacle of modern bullion coinage quality. Certified by PCGS as MS70, this coin achieves the highest numerical grade, indicating flawless strike quality and pristine surfaces. The First Strike (FS) designation confirms this coin was among the earliest examples released during the initial distribution period, a distinction highly sought by serious collectors and type collectors alike.

The obverse features John Mercanti's iconic rendition of Liberty, while the reverse displays the heraldic eagle design that has graced American Silver Eagles since their inception. The West Point Mint origin (indicated by the W mint mark) adds further appeal to this already exceptional specimen. The MS70 grade reflects perfect luster, sharp striking detail, and complete absence of any post-mint handling or surface imperfections.

This coin represents the modern bullion series at its finest, combining the collector appeal of a perfect grade, first strike status, and the inherent value of one ounce of pure .999 fine silver. An outstanding example for the dedicated Silver Eagle collector.
