The 1991-S Proof Silver Eagle represents the sixth year in the U.S. Mint's celebrated Proof Silver Eagle series. Continuing the tradition of ultra-high relief, frosted design elements, and mirrored backgrounds, this coin is a standout example of precision and artistry. Struck at the San Francisco Mint and delivered in its original box with Certificate of Authenticity (COA), this proof is an essential piece for those building a complete Silver Eagle collection.
Historical Insight:
The 1991-S marked a continuation of the Silver Eagle program's strong collector demand through the early 1990s. With a mintage of approximately 511,924, it is among the lower-produced proof issues from the early years, adding to its appeal for collectors seeking lower population years. Its inclusion in its original U.S. Mint packaging with COA enhances both its collectibility and authenticity.
