• Secret Philadelphia Mintage: Out of ~18 million Silver Eagles struck in 2017, only a small, undisclosed portion came from the Philadelphia Mint, discovered only through a FOIA request and Monster Box serial numbers—making this a modern rarity.

• Flawless & Historic: Graded PCGS MS70 with the coveted First Day of Issue designation, this coin represents perfection paired with a unique backstory of secrecy and discovery.

• Signed by a U.S. Mint Legend: Features the signature of Thomas S. Cleveland, Master Designer and member of the U.S. Mint’s Artistic Infusion Program, adding artistic prestige and collectible value.

Uncover a modern numismatic mystery with the 2017(P) Silver Eagle, a coin that was never supposed to be known. At first glance, it appears to be just another Silver Eagle—but hidden beneath its brilliant surface lies a fascinating secret: this coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, not the usual West Point facility.

Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request and careful tracking of sealed Monster Box serial numbers, collectors learned that a small fraction of 2017’s nearly 18 million Silver Eagles came from Philadelphia. With no mintmark, these coins were nearly lost to history—until sharp-eyed researchers uncovered their origin.

Graded a flawless MS70 by PCGS and bearing the prestigious First Day of Issue pedigree, this coin was submitted for grading on release day—capturing a moment in time. Even more exclusive is the hand-signed label by Thomas S. Cleveland, a U.S. Mint Master Designer and Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) contributor, known for his stunning work on the 2007 Platinum Eagle.

With only around 119 of these Cleveland-signed 2017(P) Eagles certified in MS70 by PCGS across both of his labels, this is a quiet rarity with a powerful story. A coin that combines mystery, pedigree, and perfection—an underrated gem waiting to be discovered.
