2012-(S) NGC MS-69 Early Releases 1 oz American Silver Eagle Coin

The American Silver Eagle, the official silver coin of the United States, was introduced to the bullion market in 1986, marking a significant milestone in the American Eagles program. 

Made from 1 Troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver, these coins are legal tender and embody the core values of the Founding Fathers through the designs of the Heraldic Eagle and Lady Liberty.

These coins, in particular, lack mint marks identifying their origins. Therefore, NGC distinguishes them by including an “S” in parentheses on their labels to identify those issued at the San Francisco Mint.

Today, SD Bullion offers 2012-(S) 1 oz American Silver Eagle Coins purchased from the US Mint within 30 days of their official release. They are sealed and certified as MS-69 by NGC.
