2019 San Francisco Mint (S) American Silver Eagle Coin Proof (PF)69 Ultra Cameo (UC) First Day Issue (FD) NGC Eagle Core 1st Label

Each of these PF69UCER NGC Blue Label coins are independently certified by the 3rd party grading company NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation). The 69 grade is a nearly perfect grade on the grading scale where 70 is considered perfect. The early release (ER) designation guarantees that the Proof American Silver Eagle Coin arrived to the NGC grading facility within the initial 30 days of the coins official release from the US Mint.

A popular annual release from the US Mint since 1987 (with exception in 2009), these American Silver Eagle Proof Coins carry a face value of One Dollar from the US Government and are minted in 1 Troy Ounce of pure 99.9% silver. Considered a collector item, this proof version carries a higher premium than their non-proof brilliant unciruclated counterparts which are also minted in higher numbers.  Customer demand determines the number of proof coins minted each year - therefore the mintage is never officially known until the following year, but are generally much less than BUs.

The obverse (heads side) of this proof quality coin features Adolph A. Weinman's full-length figure of Liberty in full stride, enveloped in folds of the flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left. Its reverse (tails side) features former Mint Sculptor-Engraver John Mercanti's heraldic eagle with shield, an olive branch in the right talon and arrows in the left.

American Eagle One Ounce Silver Proof Coins are struck on .999 fine silver blanks and bear the "S" mint mark indicating their production at the United States Mint at San Francisco.
