CVC & Collectables presents the 1996 American Silver Eagle Proof, certified NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo. This flawless example represents the pinnacle of modern U.S. silver proof coinage. With crisp frosted relief and deeply mirrored fields, it is visually striking and technically perfect.
Struck by the U.S. Mint in 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, the 1996 proof continues the legacy of Adolph A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty design and John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle motif. The 1996 issue is notable for being part of the mid-1990s series when mintage and PF 70 survival rates were lower, making perfect coins like this more elusive.
