Each of the 1996 Proof American Silver Eagle coins in this listing from BGASC boasts a PR70 grade from the PCGS. Coins in this condition display full, original mint luster and have no detracting flaws. Coins with a Deep-cameo designation have a distinctive visual appeal. The design set has a strong, frosted finish, while the background field is deeply mirrored and clear. This contrast helps create a sense of the design floating over the coins surface.
Obverse
On the obverse face of the coin is an image not used by the US Mint for 39 years prior to the introduction of the Silver Eagle. Adolph A. Weinmans Walking Liberty design emerged on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916 and continued as the design set for that coin through 1947.
Reverse
The reverse face of the coin features the heraldic eagle design. First used by the US Mint as early as 1794, this depiction was modernized by John Mercanti in 1986 for use on these coins. Mercanti served as Chief Engraver of the US Mint from 1986 until his retirement in 2010.
History
The 1996 production year for the American Silver Eagle was one of the last in which mintage hovered around all-time lows. By the end of the 1990s, the American Silver Eagle program would be soaring to new production heights, leaving the lows of the mid-1990s behind.
