In addition to the perfect MS70 grade, this coin is a coveted First Day of Issue coin. Because bullion strike Silver Eagles have no mintmark showing where they were struck, PCGS shows the P for Philadelphia in parenthesis (P). PCGS has identified these coins as Emergency Issues because they were submitted to PCGS in original U.S. Mint strapped and sealed boxes of 500 coins with supporting paperwork from the U.S. Mint at Philadelphia.
