The American Silver Eagle Coin Program is one of the most prestigious programs from the North American continent. Understandably, collectors and investors seek out flawless graded proof specimens from this program. These 2018-S NGC PF-70 Early Releases 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proofs are among the very best coin specimens struck this year and would do well in any coin collection or precious metals portfolio.Â
While the PF-70 grade indicates the flawless condition of the coin, the early releases certification guarantees that NGC received these coins within the first 30 days of the coins' launch that year. These graded American Silver Eagles also bear the coveted Ultra Cameo designation that is reserved for coins featuring a perfect mirror finish accompanied by a contrasting frosted design.
Like all other NGC-graded coins, these American Silver Eagles are sealed into secure plastic slabs that prevent tampering and protect the coin from external damage. The famed Golden Gate Bridge is rendered on the NGC labels inside these slabs -- indicating that the coins were struck at the San Francisco branch of the US Mint.
Each of these coins contains 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver. Moreover, they're assigned legal tender status with face values of $1 (USD).
Adolph A. Weinman's beautiful rendition of Walking Liberty graces these coins' obverses, accompanied by the word 'Liberty' and the phrase 'In God We Trust.' The designs look as gorgeous as ever, enhanced by the Ultra Cameo finish of these proof coins.
On the other hand, the reverse sides showcase John Mercanti's brilliant depiction of the Heraldic Eagle -- inspired by the National Seal of the United States of America. The purity and weight of the silver in the coin as well as its face value is imprinted near the rim of this side.
These 2018-S NGC PF-70 Early Releases 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proofs will make great additions to both coin collections as well as precious metals portfolios. Make sure you grab the very best graded specimens from this year's American Silver Eagle releases before stocks run dry!
