2012-S Proof Silver Eagle NGC PF-70 San Francisco Eagle Set Reverse

2012-S Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle - NGC PF-70 - San Francisco Eagle Set

Offered here is an authentic 2012-S Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle, struck at the San Francisco Mint and certified by NGC as PF-70, with the San Francisco Eagle Set pedigree.

The 2012-S Reverse Proof Silver Eagle is a special issue within the American Silver Eagle series. It was released as part of the 2012 American Eagle San Francisco Two-Coin Silver Proof Set, which paired a traditional Proof Silver Eagle with this distinctive Reverse Proof Silver Eagle.

The Reverse Proof finish reverses the appearance of a traditional proof coin, featuring frosted fields contrasted by mirror-like design elements. This specialized finish gives the coin a distinctive appearance and differentiates it from the traditional Proof Silver Eagle included in the same set.

The 2012 San Francisco set was offered to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the San Francisco Mint's current facility, adding further historical significance to the release.

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 coin was struck at the San Francisco Mint and bears the distinctive "S" mintmark. NGC recognizes qualifying examples from this special U.S. Mint release with the San Francisco Eagle Set pedigree.

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.
