Buy 1986/2026 5 oz Silver Eagle | Type 1 | Dual Date 1776/2026 | NGC Enhanced Reverse Proof 70 | Anna Cabral Autographed
The pinnacle of the 1986/2026 5 oz Silver Eagle series, this NGC-certified Enhanced Reverse Proof 70 carries the hand-autograph of Anna Cabral, 42nd Treasurer of the United States. Struck from a mintage of just 200 coins — the lowest for any legal tender silver eagle in world history — only a small number were deemed museum-quality PR70 by NGC. Each coin in this tier represents not only the full story of the American Eagle’s 40-year history and America’s 250th birthday, but the absolute best-surviving example of an already extraordinary issue.

Born in 1986 — The Coin That Changed Everything
In 1986, the United States Mint struck the first American Silver and Gold Eagle coins, authorized by the Liberty Coin Act of 1985 and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. From their very first year of issue, both coins captured the imagination of collectors and investors worldwide — and they never stopped. Today the American Eagle series stands as the most collected silver and gold coin program in world history, a distinction earned over four decades of exceptional design, guaranteed purity, and unmatched prestige.
Two Historic Anniversaries in a Single Coin
2026 is a year unlike any other in American numismatic history. It marks both the 40th anniversary of the American Eagle program and the 250th anniversary of the United States of America — the Semiquincentennial. Both milestones are permanently memorialized on these coins through dual dating and inscriptions, making them a true once-in-a-generation collectible that cannot be replicated.
The Design: A Masterpiece on Both Sides
The obverse bears the word LIBERTY across the top and features the iconic Walking Liberty design — Lady Liberty striding confidently toward the rising sun of a new day, draped in the American flag and carrying a torch and an olive branch. Inscribed with In God We Trust and dual-dated 1986–2026, the obverse connects the coin’s 40-year legacy to this landmark anniversary year.
The reverse is dual-dated 1776–2026, commemorating America’s 250th birthday, and features the heraldic bald eagle at the center — an olive branch of peace in one talon, arrows of war in the other. Thirteen stars representing the original thirteen colonies surround the eagle. Inscribed through the design: E Pluribus Unum and 250th Anniversary. At the bottom: 5 oz Fine Silver — Five Dollars. These coins are legal tender in the United States.
The Enhanced Reverse Proof Finish
These coins were struck in an Enhanced Reverse Proof finish — a rare and visually dramatic treatment that sets them apart from standard proof coins. On a traditional proof, the portrait is frosted and the background is mirrored. On an Enhanced Reverse Proof, it’s inverted: the design is mirrored and the background is frosted, creating a striking three-dimensional effect. Because of the enhanced finish, the coin’s design is raised significantly above the field of the coin, giving the imagery extraordinary depth and visual impact that must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
NGC Certified Enhanced Reverse Proof 70
Because of this coin’s historic significance, NGC slabbed and graded the entire mintage. Only a small group achieved the museum-quality designation of Enhanced Reverse Proof 70 — a perfect score indicating a coin with no post-production imperfections visible under 5x magnification. An NGC PR70 on a 200-coin mintage issue is an extraordinary combination of rarity and condition that very few collectors will ever have the opportunity to acquire.
Anna Cabral — Hand-Signed by the 42nd Treasurer of the United States
Anna Cabral served as the 42nd Treasurer of the United States, and her signature appears on the currency of an entire era of American commerce. Her hand-autograph on this coin adds a layer of historical significance that no NGC label alone can provide — a direct, personal connection to the institution that authorizes American money, on a coin celebrating 250 years of American independence.
