The San Francisco Mint was the first branch mint of the United States Mint to issue the coins of the American Silver Eagle Series. When the program launched in 1986, both the BU and Proof versions of the coin were struck at San Francisco, with proofs featuring an S mint mark.
From 1986 to 1998, the San Francisco Mint would produce the BU version of the coin for investors. However, it would only continue to strike the Proof version of the coin for collectors through 1992.
Obverse design elements on these 1990-S 1 oz Proof Silver Eagle Coins include the image of Walking Liberty. This design from 1916 was initially used on the US Half Dollar and was created by Adolph A. Weinman.
Reverse visuals on these 1990-S Proof American Silver Eagles includes the design known as the heraldic eagle. First created in 1794 by Robert Scot, 1st Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, this version is a modified emblem that was created in 1986 by John Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, for the debut of this coin program.
These 1990-S 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle Coins are in near-perfect condition. PF69 coins showcase full, original mint luster and have no more than two minor flaws. As UCAM coins, these proofs have strong, frosted designs and deeply-mirrored, clear fields.
