The 2019-S Proof Silver Eagle is a special-issue proof coin struck at the historic San Francisco Mint, offering collectors a rare alternative to the standard West Point minted proof. Produced in limited quantities, this coin features the classic Silver Eagle design in a high-contrast proof finish mirrored fields with frosted devices and comes housed in its original U.S. Mint velvet presentation box with Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
Historical Insight
The 2019-S Proof Silver Eagle was issued as part of the Limited Edition Silver Proof Set, making it far less common than the 2019-W. With a mintage of approximately 124,738, it holds a place among the lowest-mintage regular proof Silver Eagles. Collectors value this coin for both its San Francisco origin and its relative scarcity; especially in contrast with the far more widely produced West Point version.
Collector Note
This coin pairs beautifully with both the 2019-W Proof and the 2019-S Enhanced Reverse Proof, offering a unique opportunity to compare finish styles and mintage rarity. For collectors seeking to build a tri-mint or multi-finish 2019 Silver Eagle set, the 2019-S Proof is an essential piece.
