2012 was a busy release year for the United States Mint and its American Silver Eagle coin program. In addition to increase demand for silver and rising mintage figures for the American Silver Eagle coin, 2012 was also a year of celebrations.
The San Francisco Mint was celebrating its 75th anniversary, the US Mint released an American Silver Eagle two-coin proof set that featured a proof and reverse proof specimen. The Making American History Coin and Currency Set included another special Proof American Silver Eagle minted in San Francisco.
In this 2012-S American Silver Eagle San Francisco Mint 75th Anniversary 2-Coin set you receive two American Silver Eagles struck by the San Francisco Mint for a celebratory purpose. The set includes a typical Proof American Silver Eagle coin, as well as a Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle. Both coins were struck by the San Francisco Mint and feature an “S” mint mark.
A reverse proof coin features a unique take on the typical proof minting. The coins have a deeply-mirrored, clear finish to the design features of the coin, which contrast beautifully with the strong, frosted finish to the background field.
On the obverse of the 2012-S American Silver Eagle coin is the image of Walking Liberty created in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman. Depicting Liberty’s constant march toward a brighter future, she is featured with the American flag over her shoulders and the oak and laurel wreathes in her left hand.
The reverse of all 2012-S American Silver Eagle Coins features the heraldic eagle of the United States. This design has featured on American coinage since 1794, and this design from former US Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti is the latest modernization of this classic design.
