About the 2020 Silver American Proof 70 Coin:
The Silver American Eagle coin, issued by the United States Mint, has been a staple in the world of silver bullion since its introduction in 1986. The coin, containing one troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver, holds a face value of $1 but is valued much higher for its silver content. Alongside the standard bullion version, a proof version was created specifically for collectors. This highly sought-after 2020 Silver American Eagle Proof 70 coin is meticulously graded by NGC, ensuring a flawless Proof 70 condition with no imperfections under 5x magnification. Adding to its allure, each coin comes with an exclusive certification label hand-signed by Ed C. Moy, former Director of the U.S. Mint.
Unique Features of the 2020 Silver American Eagle:
While the design of the Silver American Eagle has remained consistent over the years, the 2020 edition holds a special significance. This year’s release could potentially mark the end of the Mercanti Heraldic Eagle subtype, a design feature that has been part of the coin since its inception. The reverse of the coin, crafted by John Mercanti, showcases a heraldic eagle holding a shield on its chest, an olive branch in its right talon, and a bundle of arrows in its left. As the Mint explores new designs, collectors and investors may see a shift away from Mercanti’s iconic eagle in future releases.
Additional Insight:
The Silver American Eagle has not only been a popular choice among collectors and investors due to its silver content, but also for its iconic design and historical significance. As the Mint considers potential design changes for future releases, collectors may value the 2020 edition even more as it could be the last of its kind. The hand-signed certification label by Ed C. Moy adds a personal touch to each coin, making it a unique and highly desirable piece for any collection.
