Description

2016 (S) 1 oz Silver American Eagle $1 Coin PCGS MS 69 (SF Label)   The American Silver Eagles are the official bullion of United States of America. This series is one of the most popular designs in American coinage, presenting beauty and excellent bullion quality. First released in 1986, this series has gained its popularity over the decades. The classic, recognizable design of Walking Liberty along with high quality manufacturing technologies and the reliable mint brand makes the American Eagle coin a priceless addition to any precious metals portfolio. This coin is very popular for its stunning image of Lady Liberty, designed by famous illustrator Adolph A. Weinman. Most collectors know this artwork by its name - "Walking Liberty". The reverse displays a heraldic bald eagle with a banner in its beak, created by John Mercanti. Above the eagle's head, there are 13 stars arranged in a triangular pattern. This coin design originally appeared on the half dollar. Since 2001, Silver American Eagles were minted at the West Point facility but when production capacity lagged the Mint used its San Francisco location as well. This coin doesn’t have any mintmark on it, but PCGS and NGC can now identify 2014-2017 Silver American Eagles with their Mint location, thus they were able to apply the appropriate mint mark to their labels. The details about the mintage facility were not released to the public until now meaning the Mint location could only be known with the information on their 500-coin packaging boxes, commonly called “monster boxes”. The method used by NGC and PCGS is as follows: 2016 San Francisco Mint boxes have a six digit serial number starting with the number 4 (4,650,000 mintage). The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) provide the mint attribution by using “S” for San Francisco, “P” for Philadelphia, “W” for West Point, e.g. 2017-(W) and their original labels.
