2020-S American Silver Eagle $1 NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo First Day of Issue — John M. Mercanti Signed

The 2020-S American Silver Eagle Proof Dollar, certified PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, represents the highest grade awarded to a proof coin — every detail of this San Francisco Mint issue is flawless, with deeply frosted devices set against mirror-bright fields. Struck in 1 troy ounce of fine silver and carrying a $1 face value, it belongs to the long-running American Silver Eagle series, one of the most collected modern bullion-proof programs in U. S. numismatic history. Mercanti — the 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint and the designer of the iconic heraldic eagle reverse seen on this very coin. Mercanti's signature is accompanied by his portrait on the NGC insert, making it a standout piece for Silver Eagle specialists and autograph collectors alike. The obverse carries Adolph A. Weinman's beloved Walking Liberty design, while the reverse displays the Mercanti heraldic eagle framed by "United States of America" and "1 oz. Fine Silver — One Dollar. " The coin rests securely in NGC's hard-plastic slab, backed by the grading service's holographic security label visible on the reverse of the holder.
