Proof American Silver Eagle coins were struck by the United States Mint throughout the first 8 years of the programs history. In fact, the San Francisco Mint was responsible for striking both the apr57 and proof versions from 1986 to 1993, at which point the Proof American Silver Eagle shifted to the Philadelphia Mint, while the apr57 remained at San Francisco.

The year 1989 introduced the first of three years of increased mintage for the American Silver Eagle. After initial popularity, mintage fell for the coins in 1988, but quickly rebounded in 1989 and started on a run of three years of consecutive increases.

Proof American Silver Eagle mintage of 617,000 coins in 1989 ranks as one of the highest totals for a single year in Silver Eagle history. After 1990, the Mint wouldnt see proof demand this high again until the 2000s.

Each of the 1989-S Proof American Silver Eagle coins in this listing has a grade of PF70 from the NGC. Coins in this condition show full, original mint luster and lack any detracting flaws of any kind.

Ultra-cameo is a designation reserved for coins with strong, frosted finishes on the design set, and deeply-mirrored, clear background fields. The UCAM finish gives the impression of a design set floating above the background field.
