2019-(S) American Silver Eagle - NGC MS-70 Early Releases
Offered here is an authentic 2019-(S) American Silver Eagle, attributed to the San Francisco Mint and certified by NGC as MS-70 Early Releases.
The 2019-(S) Silver Eagle is a notable modern issue in the American Silver Eagle series. Like other bullion Silver Eagles of the period, it bears no mintmark on the coin itself; the San Francisco attribution comes from NGC’s mint-of-origin identification based on sealed U.S. Mint packaging.
The coin carries the NGC Early Releases designation, indicating that it was received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of official release. That early-submission attribution is a popular collecting distinction within the certified Silver Eagle market.
The 2019 bullion Silver Eagle had a total mintage of 14,863,000 coins across producing facilities. San Francisco-attributed examples form a collected subset of that year’s business-strike production.
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 2019 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. It is attributed as a 2019-(S) San Francisco strike.
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-70 by NGC, this example has received the highest numerical mint-state grade assigned by NGC. The Early Releases designation recognizes that the coin was received by NGC within the first 30 days of release.
