1993 Proof Silver Eagle NGC PF-70 UCAM

1993-P Proof American Silver Eagle - NGC PF-70 Ultra Cameo

Offered here is an authentic 1993-P Proof American Silver Eagle, struck at the Philadelphia Mint and certified by NGC as PF-70 Ultra Cameo.

The 1993 issue marked an important change in the American Silver Eagle series, as proof production moved from the San Francisco Mint to the Philadelphia Mint. Unlike Philadelphia bullion issues that may have no mintmark, the 1993 Proof Silver Eagle bears a physical "P" mintmark on the coin.

Proof Silver Eagles were produced specifically for collectors using specially prepared planchets and dies, creating highly reflective fields and sharply frosted design elements.

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.

Struck in 99.9% fine silver, the coin contains one troy ounce of silver and carries a legal tender face value of one dollar.

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 sharply frosted design elements.
