After four years of intense demand growth, the American Silver Eagle experienced a blip in its otherwise strong sales figures between 2008 and 2015. The 2012 American Silver Eagle is the only coin released during this period that saw a downturn in demand from the previous year.

The 2012 1 oz American Silver Eagle coin may not have set a sales record, but its final mintage of 33,742,500 coins was still the third-highest mintage figure to this point in the program’s history. Demand for the coins was so intense that in late 2011 the US Mint had reinstated production at the San Francisco Mint for bullion coins. The 2012 release marked the first full year of supplemental coining at the San Francisco Mint location.

All 2012 1 oz American Silver Eagle coins available to you here today come with PCGS certification. A Mint State 69 grade is assigned to coins with full, original mint luster and no more than two minor detracting flaws present. Acceptable flaws at this grade level include only minuscule contact marks or hairlines.

The 2012 release of American Silver Eagle coins actually included five different options for those who buy silver. In addition to the nearly 34 million bullion coins issued, the US Mint sold 877,731 Proof Silver Eagles and 226,120 Burnished Silver Eagles. To celebrate the 75^th anniversary of the San Francisco Mint, the US Mint also issued 2012 Proof Silver Eagles with an “S” mintmark and 2012 Reverse Proof Silver Eagles with an “S” mintmark. These two-anniversary releases garnered nearly 500,000 in additional sales.

On the obverse of American Silver Eagles is the image of Walking Liberty. Her figure was originally featured on the US half-dollar coin from 1916 to 1947. The reverse of 2012 1 oz American Silver Eagles features the heraldic eagle of the United States. First used in 1794, this modern version of the seal was updated in 1986 by John Mercanti for this series.
