The Design
The obverse features the walking Liberty design. Lady Liberty walks toward the sun's rays with oak and laurel branches in one arm as she stretches the other in a welcome sign. The American flag is draped on her shoulder.
It also displays the word “LIBERTY” arches over her, the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” is on the lower right, and the year of mintage is at the bottom.
The Heraldic Eagle showcased on the reverse carries the National Shield on its chest, arrows and olive branches on its talons, and a banner with the inscription “E PLURIBUS UNUM” on its beak. The original colonies are represented by the thirteen stars above the Eagle’s head.
Encircling the image, read “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ FINE SILVER,” and “ONE DOLLAR,” describing face value, weight, metal content, and purity.
Because it is a proof coin, its surfaces exhibit a mirror-like luster, which contrasts with the design’s frosted image.
A PCGS PR-69 Coin
PCGS, which stands for Professional Coin Grading Service, operates independently of sovereign mints, evaluating and grading coins. Utilizing the Sheldon Scale, whose grading system ranges from 1 to 70, they meticulously assess coins based on their condition.
According to the scale, PR stands for Proof Coin, indicating a coin produced for collection purposes, which exhibits mirror-like surfaces in contrast with frosted design elements. 69 is the grade attributed to coins whose flaws are almost invisible.
