A coin that captures the essence of modern numismatic artistry, this 2012 Silver Eagle Reverse Proof from the San Francisco Eagle Set is a prized collector’s piece. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin features a striking reverse proof finish, where the traditional frosted and mirrored elements are reversed—creating a dramatic contrast that enhances every detail. Graded NGC PF69, this near-perfect example showcases the pinnacle of U.S. Mint craftsmanship, making it a standout in any collection.
Obverse: The timeless Walking Liberty design by Adolph A. Weinman, first introduced in 1916, radiates elegance and patriotism. Liberty strides forward, draped in the American flag, with her right hand extended toward a hopeful future and the sun rising in the background. The reversed proof effect gives this iconic design a fresh, mesmerizing appearance.
Reverse: John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle dominates the reverse, with outstretched wings, a shield at its chest, and an olive branch and arrows in its talons—symbols of America’s commitment to both peace and strength. The reverse proof finish adds remarkable depth and contrast, making the eagle appear almost lifelike against the mirrored backdrop.
The San Francisco Eagle Set, which included both a standard proof and this special Reverse Proof Silver Eagle, was an instant favorite among collectors. With stunning eye appeal, limited mintage, and the prestige of an NGC PF69 grade, this coin represents the perfect blend of historical tribute and modern innovation. A must-have for serious Silver Eagle enthusiasts and investors alike!
