The US Mint resurrected the much beloved Walking Liberty design, in 1986, by placing it on the obverse of every silver eagle coin. The Proof Silver Eagle follow suit and honored the famous design by using a matte finish for Lady Liberty but using a contrast proof finish behind her. The Walking Liberty design originated in 1916, being the obverse design of the US half dollar from 1916-1947. Adolph A. Weinman is the American/German sculptor who is responsible for the iconic figure. Weinman's artwork is scattered throughout the US since it has such an important role in US history. Collectors have found the beauty in owning the Proof Silver Eagles, enjoying the lower mintages than the BU series.
Your Certified Proof Silver Eagle 1997-P PR70DCAM PCGS is backed by the US government and was minted by the first mint in the US, the Philadelphia Mint. Both sides of your coin can be seen through the official PCGS holder, marked with the perfect grade of PF70. The reverse shows the US Coat of Arms with 13 stars above it to represent the original 13 colonies. The reverse also bears the coin's weight and purity to prove its validity. On the obverse, Lady Liberty is displayed in all of her glory; loosely dressed in a lightweight toga that gently moves with the wind. The lady has a tall and slender figure that is draped by a large American flag. Both of the lady's arms are occupied; one holding a bundle of branches and the other is extended as if reaching out in invitation. The rising sun encroaches behind her as it offers the hope of a new day. The words, "Liberty," and "In God We Trust," are both stamped on the obverse, along with the coin's date of mintage.
