Why purchase this 8-Coin 2019-S U.S. Limited Edition Silver Proof Set?
Collectors who are looking for a unique way to experience the designs on America's circulated coinage would do well to pick up this Limited Edition Silver Proof Set. The set consists of eight coins, each of which was struck from .999 fine silver at the San Francisco Mint. All of the coins in the set bear that mint's "S" mint mark. The set consists of an American Silver Eagle, a Kennedy half dollar, a Roosevelt Dime, and the five 2019 America the Beautiful Quarters. The half dollar weighs 12.685 g, the quarters 6.343 g each, and the dime 2.537 g. Just 50,000 of these sets were issued.
Featuring the Breathtaking 2019 America the Beautiful Quarters Designs
Three of the coins feature a pair of designs that are familiar to most collectors. The Silver Eagle bears Adolph Weinman's Walking Liberty design on the obverse and John Mercanti's adaptation of the Great Seal of the United States on the reverse. Gilroy Roberts's left-side portrait of President John F. Kennedy joins Frank Gasparro's modified presidential seal on the half dollar. The dime was designed entirely by John Sinnock. It has a portrait of President Franklin Roosevelt on the obverse and a torch flanked by an olive branch and an oak branch on the revere.
All five quarters feature John Flanagan's famous portrait of President George Washington on the obverse. The reverses focus more on history rather than America's natural beauty. Two, the Northern Mariana Islands' American Memorial Park and Guam's Pacific National Historical Park, honor those who fought in World War II. Another two, Lowell National Historic Park, which represents Massachusetts in the series, and San Antonio Missions National Historic Park, Texas's contribution, pay homage to the Lowell Girls and the missions that served as the foundation of one of Texas's biggest cities, respectively. Idaho's Frank Church River of No Return Quarter shows a man enjoying the rapids and the scenery on his drift boat.
Virtually Flawless PF69 UC ER with Cable Car Labels
The coins in this set all earned Proof 69 grades and Ultra Cameo and Early Releases certifications from the experts at Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). A PF69 grade means that a coin appears perfect to the unaided eye. UC indicates that a piece has deeply mirrored fields and heavily frosted devices that contrast sharply. ER means that a coin was submitted for grading within a month of its release from the mint. This grading information comes provided on labels that feature one of San Francisco's famous cable cars.
