    American Silver Eagle sales finally started to show some signs of life in the late 1990s. After years of slumping sales, the nation’s official silver bullion coin came to life with the approach of Y2K as investors exhibited nerves about the stability of the American economy. Right now, the 1997-P Proof American Silver Eagle coin is available from JM Bullion with a perfect certification level.

    Coin Highlights:

    • Arrives in a protective plastic slab!
    • 12th annual striking of the Proof American Silver Eagle coin!
    • Final mintage of only 435,368 coins!
    • Contains 1 oz of .999 pure silver.
    • Bears a face value of $1 (USD) backed by the federal government.
    • Issued a grade of PR70 by the Professional Coin Grading Service.
    • Features a Deep-cameo (DCAM) finish.
    • The obverse features Walking Liberty.
    • On the reverse is the heraldic eagle.
    • Struck with a “P” mint mark by the Philadelphia Mint.

    Throughout most of the 1990s, the American Silver Eagle coin had seen shrinking sales. A vital US economy and strong dollar meant that demand for the bullion and proof versions of the coin sunk.

    Sales reached an all-time low, not matched since, in 1996 of just 4.1 million coins in total. Although not a significant increase, the 4.7 million coins struck in 1997 marked the start of four consecutive years of increasing demand for the American Silver Eagle. Much of this was caused by the fears surrounding Y2K and its potential impact on banking and the economy at large.

    Each of the 1997 Proof American Silver Eagle coins in this product listing earned the highest grade from the PCGS, that of PR70. Indicating a coin with its full, original mint luster, these PR70 American Silver Eagles also exhibit no detracting flaws of any kind. The deep-cameo designation is for proof coins with a strong, frosted matte finish on the design sets and a deeply-mirrored, clear background field.

    Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic Walking Liberty design, used on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar from 1916 to 1947, was brought out of retirement after 39 years for use on the American Silver Eagle’s obverse face.

    On the reverse of the coin is John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle. First used by the US Mint in 1794, then-Chief Engraver of the US Mint Mercanti modernized the heraldic eagle design in 1986 for use on the American Silver Eagle.

Should anything happen while your package is in transit to you, it will be covered by our insurance policy subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 13 of our Terms and Conditions. Please read this section of the Terms and Conditions carefully.

    My package appears to have been damaged or tampered with. What should I do?+

    We recommend you refuse any shipment that appears to be damaged or tampered with as the shipping insurance ends once signed for and/or delivered. When refused, the package(s) will return to JM Bullion for inspection. If you have taken possession of a damaged or tampered package, please save all packaging and contact JM Bullion at1-800-276-6508 within 48 hours for further instructions. Failure to notify us of damage or tampering within 48 hours fromsignatureor delivery date may impact our ability to cover your claim.

    When will I receive my order?+

    When you will receive your order depends primarily on three factors

    1. When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).
      • Please note that you will receive a Paid email once your payment is received.
    2. Holding period after cleared payment.
      • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
    3. Shipping method and transit time.
      • UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
      • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.
    What happens if my order is lost in transit?+

    All packages shipped by JM Bullion are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

    Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.

    See also Section 13 of our Terms and Conditions.

    What happens if my order is damaged in transit?+

    Though unlikely, if your order is damaged during transit and/or any items are missing we require you to contact JM Bullion immediately so we can begin the claims process. If you have taken possession of a shipment that is damaged and/or is missing items, you have 2 days (48 hours) from the date of delivery to contact us as stated in our Terms and Conditions.

Please note, per our Terms and Conditions, once a package shows delivered, our responsibility ends. Please be available and attentive to receive the package when the courier arrives. Due to COVID 19, couriers are not always getting the signature.

    Depending on your method of payment, it is possible to have your order shipped to an address other than your billing address. If you pay with paper check, bank wire, ACH, Ethereum, Ripple, or bitcoin, you may have your order shipped wherever you please, with two exceptionsUPS locations and mail forwarding locations. If you pay with a credit/debit card, it depends on your order history. For credit cards, put the order through with your billing address as the shipping address, and then call us to see if we can change it to an alternate.

    How will I know when my order ships?+

    You may choose how your order is shipped during the checkout process. In the last section of the checkout page, 4 Shipping Method, you will see the available shipping options for your order. If your purchase is eligible for free shipping, the pre-selected option will be base shipping, which is either USPS, UPS, or FedEx at our choice. If you would like to upgrade your shipping, you may choose one of the other options for a small fee. Simply click on the circle next to the shipping method you desire, and your order will be shipped via that method.

    If my order includes an item on presale, will the in-stock items ship first?+

    Unfortunately, due to the way insurance is applied to an order, everything must ship at the same time (i.e., in-stock items must await shipment until all presale items have arrived). Your order will ship in its entirety within 24-72 hours of our receiving the presale item. An email notification will be sent when your order ships.

    Do you ship to US territories?+

    We do not ship to US territories. Due to special requirements set by the postal systems, we are unable to ship outside of U.S. states.

    What does “No Will Call” mean?+

    All UPS 7 fedEx shipments ship with a No Will Call restriction, meaning the package cannot be picked up from a UPS or FedEx location. This is a precaution to prevent orders from being fraudulently intercepted.

    UPS or FedEx will make three delivery attempts. If nobody is available at the delivery address to sign and accept delivery, the package will be returned to us.

    Where do you ship orders from?+

    All orders will ship from our warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada. We mask our return address on all packages as to not give away the contents of the package.

    Do you offer UPS or FedEx shipping to Alaska and Hawaii?+

    No, we do not. The costs in shipping to these places is extremely prohibitive, so we utilize USPS on all shipments.

    Yes! When products are shipped via the United States Postal Service, we can ship to a P.O. Box. Please note that insurance on shipments to P.O. Boxes ends as soon as the package shows delivered.

    Do you ship to UPS stores?+

    We can ship to such stores including UPS Stores, various mail and packing stores, freight forwarders, etc. However, these are private businesses not owned by UPS, USPS, etc. Therefore, our shipping insurance does not cover missing packages or items sent to these locations if the tracking shows delivered.
