Modern Bullion Coins
1996 $1 Silver Eagle MS70 NGC. The 1996 American Silver Eagle issues had the P mintmark reserved for proofs only, while the "circulation strikes" such as this piece lacked a mintmark. Close examination with a loupe locates no mentionable flaws, as expected, and the surfaces are uniformly frosted silver-white save for a light touch of opaque pale-white patina around the obverse border.
