2020-S Proof Silver Eagle NGC PF-70 UCAM

2020-S Proof American Silver Eagle - NGC PF-70 Ultra Cameo

Offered here is an authentic 2020-S Proof American Silver Eagle, struck at the San Francisco Mint and certified by NGC as PF-70 Ultra Cameo.

The 2020-S American Silver Eagle is a notable collector issue from the final year of the original Heraldic Eagle reverse design. The U.S. Mint limited the standalone San Francisco Proof Silver Eagle to 200,000 coins, adding to its collector appeal.

The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's celebrated Walking Liberty design, originally introduced on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916. Liberty is depicted walking toward the rising sun while carrying branches of laurel and oak.

The reverse features John Mercanti's classic Heraldic Eagle design, depicting an eagle behind a shield with an olive branch and arrows in its talons and thirteen stars positioned above. The 2020-S issue was among the final Silver Eagles featuring this classic reverse before the series transitioned to a new reverse design in 2021.

Struck in 99.9% pure silver, the coin contains one troy ounce of silver, carries a legal tender face value of one dollar, and bears the distinctive "S" mintmark of the San Francisco Mint.

Graded PF-70 by NGC, this example has received the highest numerical proof grade assigned by NGC. The Ultra Cameo designation recognizes the strong contrast between the deeply mirrored fields and frosted design elements characteristic of a high-quality proof strike.
