Why add the 1996-P Proof American Silver Eagle to your collection
American Silver Eagles are among the most collectible of all modern coins, and the annually minted proof versions are the elite issues of the series. They have been regularly minted since 1986, and each coin contains exactly one troy ounce of .999 fine silver. Collectors have been fervently buying new issues each year since they were first introduced in November of 1986.
With most issues well under a million coins per year, the 1996 Philadelphia minted issue represents one of only 8 different issues of which fewer than 500,000 were minted.
The exquisite beauty of the Walking Liberty design appears to come off the coin with the high-mirror polished fields of the coin and the super-frosty white cameo appearance of the beautiful Lady Liberty and the sun rise she walks toward. The reverse design of this coin is equally as beautiful with the large heraldic eagle in the center of the design, and the triangle of thirteen stars above the eagle representing the original thirteen states of the United States.
The historic design, low mintage, popularity, and overall beauty of this issue makes it one of the choice additions to any United States collection.
