2012 Silver Eagle NGC MS-69

2012 American Silver Eagle - NGC MS-69

Offered here is an authentic 2012 American Silver Eagle, certified by NGC as MS-69.

The 2012 Silver Eagle is a notable modern issue in the American Silver Eagle series. It was produced during a period of continued strong bullion demand and remains a popular date for collectors assembling certified mint-state Silver Eagle sets.

The 2012 bullion Silver Eagle had a mintage of 33,742,500 coins. While that figure is high by series standards, NGC MS-69 examples remain the most widely collected certified grade for the date.

The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman’s celebrated Walking Liberty design, originally introduced on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916. Liberty is shown striding toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag, with the date 2012 below.

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 as a bullion issue and bears no mintmark. 2012 business-strike Silver Eagles were produced at both the West Point and San Francisco Mints.

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 MS-69 by NGC, this example has received a near-perfect mint-state grade, just one point below the highest numerical grade assigned by NGC.
