These US Mint silver coins are a collector’s delight as each of these 1988-S issue American Silver Eagle Proof coins was assigned a grade of PF-70 Ultra Cameo by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. PF-70 is the highest grade on the Sheldon grading scale for proof coins, and this grade is only assigned to coins that do not feature anything less than a perfect surface and design, even when magnified. Each of these coins contains 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver, in addition to bearing a $1 (USD) face value.
Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) is the world’s largest coin certification service by volume. Having certified more than 35 million coins, NGC’s services encompass authentication, grading, attribution, and encapsulation in clear plastic holders. These 1988 American Silver Eagles were minted at the San Francisco Mint, as indicated by the ‘S’ mint mark, during a time when it was exclusively used to mint proof collectible coinage. Established in 1854, the San Francisco Mint has a long and fascinating history, and forms an integral part of the United States Mint.
These PF-70 Ultra Cameo proof coins have deeply mirrored fields on both sides, which impart an inimitable contrast and richness to them. The obverses of the 1988 American Silver Eagle Proof coin features Adolph A. Weinman’s portrayal of Lady Liberty draped in an American Flag. She is seen walking gracefully towards the rising sun. On the other hand, the reverses of these proof coins display an image of a heraldic eagle, below 13 small stars that represent the original colonies of the United States.
