1987 $1 American Silver Eagle – PCGS MS66+ – Stunning Natural Rainbow Toning
This 1987 American Silver Eagle is a standout example of the U.S. Mint’s premier bullion coin, certified MS66+ by PCGS and adorned with vibrant natural rainbow toning that elevates its visual appeal far beyond a typical Mint State example.
Struck in one full ounce of .999 fine silver, this early-date Silver Eagle comes from only the second year of the series. While many 1987 Eagles were stored in mint tubes and show uniform brilliance, this coin has developed extraordinary, multicolor toning—likely from long-term storage in original government packaging or a paper envelope, contributing to its iridescent beauty.

‘’I had gone to a couple of other places and they weren’t the nicest people and were trying to rip me off. The people at copper state were very knowledgeable and kind. They taught me a lot along the way too. Mike and Ivy were big helps in my situation. The place is also very organized, clean and they were professional!! I recommend you go here! I will be back!’’

‘’Very nice and pleasant experience. Mike, the owner took time to show me some very cool things!! He also spent time to educate me about things I wanted to know and answered all my silly questions too! (And there were a LOT of them!!) I am really going to enjoy this shop and look forward to returning again and again. Mike is fair, honest, respectful, and kind. What more could you ask for?’’

‘’First time visit to the shop was great! All were fun to talk with friendly to work with and outstanding to do business with. I was looking for some specific items. They went above and beyond to double check inventory not under glass. Boy, did they make my day. Not only did they find, it but they gave me the best deal in town. I will be back again! Thank you Mike! Copper State is a new spot for me now.’’

‘’Found a couple of the 2009 Formative Years” I have been looking for. Came to Copperstate Coins responding to an ad not knowing they were a coin dealer. Met with Ivy to pick up my rolls. All in the store were extremely polite not pushy helpful and I left with more than I came in for. Without a doubt greatest place to go if you’re just getting into the hobby, which I am, I will be a frequent customer. Thank you!!’’
