Certified Proof Silver Eagle 1996 PF70 NGC

Besides the competitively low mintages, the proof eagles are also sought after for their beautiful mint packaging and remarkable "mirrored" finish that makes them glisten. Although the 1996 American Silver Eagle BU contains the lowest mintage in the brilliant uncirculated bullion coin series, the 1996 proof has a higher mintage than most of the Proof Silver Eagles. But then again, high mintage for proof silver eagles means something very different when compared to the incredibly high mintages of its brilliant uncirculated counterpart. Only 500,000 Proof Silver Eagles were minted in 1996, which pales in comparison to the usual unlimited mintages of most Brilliant Uncirculated coins. The best way to preserve these low mintage beauties is to invest in certified versions that prove the coin's excellent and Mint-State condition.
