Silver American Eagle proof coins were introduced alongside the bullion coin in the series. The Silver Eagle is only available in a 1 oz. weight. Proof coins were struck at the San Francisco Mint from 1986 to 1992, the shortest duration of production at any of the US Mint’s three facilities to contribute to the Silver American Eagle program.
Each of the coins in this product listing has a perfect grade, indicating that these proofs still have their full, original luster. You’ll find no blemishes, contact marks, or other detracting flaws on the surface of these coins. The DCAM designation relates to the finish on these proof coins. DCAM is reserved for proof coins with a strong, frosted finish on the design field and a deeply mirrored, clear background field.
Images on the Silver American Eagle include Lady Liberty and the bald eagle. Adolph A. Weinman’s classic Walking Liberty depiction shows Lady Liberty striding toward the setting sun and is indicative of America’s march to a brighter future. US Mint chief engraver John Mercanti designed the heraldic eagle on the reverse side of the coin.
