1989-S American Silver Eagle, NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo

This item is a 1989-S American Silver Eagle coin, which has been professionally graded and encapsulated by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). The coin is struck in .999 fine silver with a weight of one troy ounce and a diameter of 40.6mm. The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's iconic 'Walking Liberty' design, while the reverse (not fully visible here but part of this series) typically depicts a heraldic eagle by John Mercanti. This specific specimen has achieved the prestigious grade of PF 70 Ultra Cameo, signifying a perfect proof coin with no visible flaws under 5x magnification. The 'Ultra Cameo' designation indicates a strong contrast between the deeply frosted devices and the mirror-like, reflective fields. The barcode and serial number 3199722-003 are clearly visible on the NGC certification label. The coin is housed in a clear, tamper-evident plastic slab with a white core, which protects its condition and guarantees its authenticity. The surface appears pristine, with no signs of toning, spotting, or oxidation, maintaining its original brilliant luster. This early-year proof eagle from the San Francisco Mint ('S' mint mark) is highly sought after by collectors for its perfect grade and historical significance in the American Eagle Bullion Program.
