Coins with a PF70 grade showcase full, original mint luster and are free from any detracting flaws. A coin with a UCAM finish, or ultra-cameo, boasts a distinctive beauty with a strong, frosted matte finish on the design set and a deeply-mirrored, clear background field. These coins are somewhat rare from the 1990 release of Proof Silver Eagles.

Obverse

On the obverse of the American Silver Eagle is the iconic image of Walking Liberty, created by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916. Originally featured on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar circulation coin until 1947, it portrays Liberty walking toward a setting sun.

Reverse

The reverse of all 1991 Proof American Silver Eagle coins includes the heraldic eagle of the United States. First used in 1794, this design was refined by US Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti in 1986.

History

The initial years of American Silver Eagles witnessed robust demand for these novel silver bullion and proof collectible coins. As we stepped into the 1990s, the Proof Silver Eagle regained popularity after a brief decline in the late 1980s. Total mintage for the 1990-S 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle coins reached 695,510, marking both a surge in sales and the highest mintage figure for the collectible version until 2001.
