2016-W NGC PF-69 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coin

The debut of American Silver Eagle coins in the bullion market dates back to 1986. 

Their success among investors and collectors from all over the globe made them one of the best-selling silver coins worldwide. This boosted the insertion of Proof Silver Eagles in the American Eagle collection. 

Proof Silver Eagles are one-ounce coins made of 99.9% fine silver, like their bullion counterparts, with an enhanced appearance due to their proof finish.

These Proof Silver Eagles are specifically produced at the West Point Mint, one of the branches of the US Mint, and bear its mintmark.

The Sheldon Grading Scale ranges from 1 to 70 and is used as a parameter for third-party services, like NGC, which stands for Numismatic Guaranty Company, to appraise and grade coins.

According to the scale, PF 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.
