CoinWeek Giveaway # 628 Sponsored by…2016 Silver Eagle NGC-70 First Day Issue
30th Anniversary Lettered Edge with E.Jones Signature Inset

The CoinWeek Giveaway #628 prize celebrates a landmark issue in modern American numismatics: the 2016 American Silver Eagle, certified NGC MS70, featuring the historic 30th Anniversary lettered edge and paired with a special inset honoring Elizabeth Jones, the 11th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.

Struck in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, the American Silver Eagle series began in 1986 and quickly became the world’s most widely collected silver bullion coin. The obverse bears Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic Walking Liberty design, first seen on the 1916 half dollar, with Liberty striding toward the sunrise wrapped in the American flag. The reverse features the heraldic eagle by John Mercanti, a powerful emblem of national strength and unity.

What sets this 2016 issue apart is its incused edge inscription reading “30th ANNIVERSARY.” This was the only year in the history of the American Silver Eagle series that a lettered edge was used on a bullion strike. Every other standard Silver Eagle before and since has featured a traditional reeded edge. The one-year-only edge treatment makes the 2016 anniversary issue a distinct and highly collectible subtype within the series, marking three decades of America’s flagship silver coin.

Graded MS70 by NGC, this example represents perfection, flawless under 5x magnification with full, undisturbed mint luster. The addition of the Elizabeth Jones inset brings historical resonance, as she oversaw the introduction of the American Eagle bullion program during her tenure at the Mint.

A perfect-grade, one-year-only anniversary issue tied to a pioneering Mint engraver, this is a Silver Eagle that truly stands apart.

Good luck, and happy collecting.
