Low Mintage 2019-S Enhanced Reverse Proof Silver Eagle NGC Special Labels and Designations

The US Mint released the highly anticipated 2019-S Enhanced Reverse Proof Silver Eagle on November 14, 2019. It was limited to just 30,000 coins, the lowest mintage of an American Silver Eagle to date—even lower than the coveted 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle.

Numismatic Guaranty Corporation® (NGC®) is celebrating the release of this coin with special labels and designations, including NGC's popular Early Releases and First Releases designations and its distinctive San Francisco label that pays tribute to the city where the coin was struck.

Enhanced Reverse Proof is the newest finish for American Silver Eagles; the others are Uncirculated, Enhanced Uncirculated, Proof and Reverse Proof. The US Mint has struck only one other Silver Eagle in Enhanced Reverse Proof format: the 2019-W Enhanced Reverse Proof Silver Eagle included in the Pride of Two Nations set that was produced in partnership with the Royal Canadian Mint.

The 2019-S Enhanced Reverse Proof Silver Eagle’s mintage of 30,000 is just a fraction of the 110,000 coins produced of the 2019-W Enhanced Reverse Proof Silver Eagle. The extremely low mintage, along with the special finish and “S” mintmark, make this coin one of the most desirable Silver Eagles in recent memory, if not the entire series.

Adding to the anticipation, each 2019-S Enhanced Reverse Proof Silver Eagle will be accompanied by an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from the US Mint. This is an unusual move for the US Mint—COAs normally do not have individual numbers. NGC will add the COA number to the NGC label by request for an additional fee. NGC also can encapsulate the COA in a special, tamper-evident holder, also by request and for an additional fee.

The coins debuted November 14-17 at the Baltimore Winter Expo, where the US Mint released a limited number of the coins.
