Highlights:
When you purchase a 2016-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coin from Provident Metals in this listing, the item you receive comes with a perfect certification. These coins have full, original mint luster and no detracting flaws of any kind present on the designs or surfaces. The UCAM label stands for ultra-cameo and points to the strong, frosted designs that contrast with the deeply-mirrored, clear background fields.
Obverse
The obverse face of 2016-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins bears the image of Walking Liberty. Designed in 1916, it depicts Liberty in left-profile relief walking toward the sun on the horizon. The use of Walking Liberty once more on the 2016 Proof American Eagle Silver Coin is particularly special as it is the 100th anniversary year for the design.
Reverse
On the reverse side of 2016 Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins is the heraldic eagle of the United States. Modified for this series in 1986 by John Mercanti, the design is based on the original 1792 image of the national seal from Robert Scot, the 1st Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.
History
The 2016 release year was the 30th for the American Eagle 1 oz Silver coins. The US Mint celebrated in style with the Proof American Eagle by striking an incuse 30th Anniversary phrase on the edge of the coins. This was the first time the US Mint had ever edge-struck its American Eagle Silver Coins and was the first time since the 1986 release that the coins had a smooth edge rather than the traditional reeded edge.
Ordering
These 2016-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins are housed inside of sealed plastic slabs and feature the W mint mark from the West Point Mint on the reverse.
