The popular Proof American Silver Eagle Series launched in 1986 with what remains the highest mintage figure in the history of the coin series. When it comes to collectible bullion programs, the first year is always the most popular in the series. That was evident in the demand experienced in the 1980s as the Proof Silver Eagle was in its early years of availability. Right now, near-perfect 1988-S 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1988-S 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle Coin available here comes with a near-perfect certification. The PCGS issues the PR69 grade to coins that exhibit full, original mint luster with no more than two minor detractions present. To qualify, the flaws on the coin cannot exceed minuscule contact marks or hairlines and must be located outside the primary focal points of the coin. The included DCAM designation stands for deep-cameo. This refers to the exceptional visual brilliance of the coin’s natural proof-cameo visuals. In this case, the coins have strong, frosted designs overlaying deeply mirrored, clear fields.
1988 was just the third year of availability for the Proof Silver Eagle and the US Mint was already seeing a significant drop in demand. The debut in 1986 capitalized on the pent-up demand for silver in the US. That debut release sold a total of 1.446 million coins, a record to this day for the series. The 1988 coin had a mintage roughly one-third that amount and remains among the lowest-minted date marks to this day.
On the obverse of 1988-S Proof Silver Eagles is the image of Walking Liberty. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, this image first appeared on the US half dollar from 1916 to 1947. It depicts Liberty wrapped in the American flag as she walks toward the sun on the horizon.
The reverse side of 1988-S Proof American Silver Eagles comes with the heraldic eagle design. One of the oldest coin design concepts still in use on American coins, the heraldic eagle was first issued in 1795 on gold coins and was modernized for this particular series in 1986 by John Mercanti.
