Showcasing an elegant label from NGC that certifies this proof coin’s mintage on the very first day of the release of the US Mint's 2017 American Silver Eagles, it is part of a select group of coins that were awarded a perfect PF-70 Ultra Cameo grade.
These proof coins, unlike their bullion counterparts, feature a distinctive mirror-like surface finish, while the designs are raised and display a more frosted finish. The Ultra Cameo designation indicates a high level of contrast between the coin surface and the imprinted design. Each of these proof coins contains 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver, and bears a face value of $1 (USD).
NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) has been grading coins since its inception in 1987. Since then, it has become one of the largest third-party coin-grading agencies in the world. Due to the long and illustrious history of accurately grading coins, collectors and investors across the globe trust and value their grades. Experts at NGC assign perfect PF-70 grades to only proof coins that are flawless, in the truest sense of the word. Coins certified by NGC undergo an extensive evaluation, including magnification, before being awarded grades.

Weinman, and is suitably named the “Walking Liberty.” Sealed in invert plastic slabs by NGC and featuring elegant labels that exhibit the coin’s certifications, grades, and specifications, each of these 2017 American Silver Eagle Proof Coins will make valuable additions to investments and collections.
