The San Francisco Mint was the original home of the American Silver Eagle coin series. Bullion coins in the series were produced here from 1986 until 1998, but the Proof American Silver Eagle was only struck in San Francisco from 1986 until 1992. Today, there is an exciting offering of 2017 Proof American Silver Eagle Coins featuring the “S” mint mark.
Each 2017 Proof American Silver Eagle coin listed here is a perfect specimen. The PCGS has issued each a PR70 grade, indicating the presence of its full, original mint luster. Additionally, there are no detracting flaws anywhere on the coin’s surface areas. The First Strike designation applies to coins received by the PCGS for certification within the first 30 days of the release date by the US Mint.
With the additional DCAM designation, these coins have added visual beauty and brilliance. The strong, frosted matte finish of the design set contrasts nicely with the deeply-mirrored, clear background field. This helps create the visual of the design sets floating above the coin’s surface.
On the obverse of the Proof American Silver Eagle is Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic Walking Liberty design. It features Lady Liberty walking toward the setting sun with her right hand outstretched and the American flag draped over her shoulders.
The reverse of the 2017 Proof American Silver Eagle includes the heraldic eagle of the US. This design first debuted on original American coinage from the US Mint in 1794. Over the past two centuries it has been updated, including this 1986 refinement from former Chief Engraver of the US Mint, John Mercanti.
