The engravings “LIBERTY,” the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the year of mintage are part of the design.

The West Point mint mark is also on the reverse side.

The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ FINE SILVER,” and “ONE DOLLAR” accompany the image.

An NGC PF-70 and SP-70 “Early Releases” Coin

NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) operates independently of government mints, evaluating and grading coins based on the Sheldon Scale, which rates coin quality on a scale from 1 to 70.

NGC considers “Early Releases” a coin purchased from its original mint within 30 days of its public release and submitted to its appraisal.

PF stands for Proof Coin, indicating a coin produced for collection purposes. Because it is a reverse-proof coin, the background surfaces are frosted, contrasting with the brilliant images engraved. 70 is the highest grade and indicates a coin with no visible flaws.

The Enhanced Uncirculated version, though not as reflective as a proof coin, as a brighter look than regular bullion coins and more visible design elements. They under go a special polishing process called “burnishing,” which cleans the blanks from unwanted oxides formed during the annealing and rimming processes.

SP-70 stands for Specimen-70, which describes a hybrid between Mint State and Proof with absolutely no imperfections.
