NGC has certified these US Mint 2017-W 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof coins as absolutely perfect, assigning them the coveted PF-70 Ultra Cameo grade. Moreover, the minting source of these coins, ‘W’ for the West Point Mint, is displayed on the attractive NGC label inside the plastic casing.
Ultra Cameo designations indicate a high contrast between the raised designs of the proof coins to the mirror finished silver surfaces. On the other hand, the PF-70 grade means that the proof coins bear absolutely no surface imperfections. Each of these NGC-graded proof coins contains 1 troy ounce of 0.999 silver. Additionally, they are assigned a face value of $1 (USD) by the United States Government.
NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) encases each graded coin inside individual plastic holders to ensure their safety. It was established in 1987 and has now become one of the most-trusted coin-grading agencies in the world. In fact, precious metals collectors and investors around the globe trust and value grades assigned by NGC.
Featuring the exquisite handiwork of the renowned sculptor, Adolph A. Weinman, these 2017 American Silver Eagle Proof coins from the United States Mint proudly boast the familiar Walking Liberty portrayal. The coins’ Ultra Cameo designation is on dazzling display as the design stands out against the mirror finished silver surface of the coin.
These 2017-W 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof coins will make valuable additions to PF-70 coin collections, for collectors who prefer the absence of even microscopic imperfections. Moreover, their pure silver content also reinforces precious metals assets.
