In 2019, the United States Mint issued its typical range of Silver American Eagle coins to include the bullion, proof, and burnished specimens. With a limited mintage and the distinctive “S” mint mark of the San Francisco Mint, a special enhanced reverse proof coin was also released in 2019. Right now, 2019-S 1 oz Silver American Eagle Enhanced Reverse Proofs are available to purchase online at Silver.com in near-perfect condition.

Coin Highlights:

This set sold out from the U.S. Mint the very same day it was released. Only 110,000 of these sets were ever released, which makes the 2019 W Enhanced Reverse Proof Silver Eagle one of the lowest mintage Silver Eagles in the entire series. Later on in the same year, a San Francisco version was released with a mintage of just 30,000. EJ: Assuming the Mint has the same return and damage rate as the 2011 anniversary set, the 2019-S Enhanced Reverse Proof will come in around 29,964 coins. Given that the 95-W in PR-69 is a roughly $3,000 coin, you can expect the 2019-S to move into this price range over the next 10 years or less for a run of the mill example. 2019-W $1 Silver Eagle Enhanced Rev PR Pride of Two Nations, U.S. Set FDI Minuteman; 2019-W $1 Silver Eagle Enhanced Rev PR Pride of Two Nations, U.S. Set FDI Donald J.

Each of the 2019-S 1 oz Silver American Eagle Enhanced Reverse Proofs in this listing earned a near-perfect certification from the NGC. A PF69 coin exhibits full, original mint luster and a maximum of two minor detracting flaws. Acceptable flaws at this grade level are limited to minuscule contact marks or hairlines found only outside the primary focal points of the coin.

Additionally, this is a varied label listing. This means the coins could come with additional labels in the slab such as Early Release or UCAM. However, this is not guaranteed. All coins are chosen at random when your payment is processed. If you purchase more than one, please keep in mind you could receive several coins that have the same additional labels, varying labels, or no labels at all.

Walking Liberty graces the obverse of 2019-S Silver American Eagle Enhanced Reverse Proofs. This iconic design was created in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman and featured on the US half dollar until 1947. It captures the spirit of hope for the future that existed in the early 20^th century as Liberty walks toward the sun on the horizon extended her hand to the warmth and light of a new day.

The heraldic eagle of the United States features on the reverse of 2019 1 oz Silver American Eagle Enhanced Reverse Proofs. This emblem was first created in 1792 by Robert Scot and modified for this series in 1986 by John Mercanti.

These 2019-S 1 oz Silver American Eagle Enhanced Reverse Proofs, generally speaking, have frosted fields and mirrored designs. As an enhanced reverse proof, the US Mint selectively applied frosted and polished fields to isolated design elements for a unique visual appearance. Each coin bears the “S” mint mark of the San Francisco Mint on its reverse field.

Fewer than 100 surplus Enhanced Reverse Proof 2019-S American Eagles silver dollars held in inventory by the U.S. Mint from canceled orders sold out almost immediately Aug. 5 when the bureau prematurely offered the coins on its website without advance notice.

U.S. Mint spokesman Michael White said Aug. 6 that additional returned products were to be offered in the coming days as the coins became available after quality inspection.

The surplus inventory sold out before tens of thousands of cell phone and email alerts were sent out to customers who had asked to be notified when additional product became available after they were shut out of the original product introduction.

The Enhanced Reverse Proof2019-S American Eagle silver dollar, limited to a product release of 30,000, originally was put on sale Nov. 14, 2019, at $65.95 each. The offering included a release of the coins at the Whitman Baltimore Expo.

A household order restriction of one coin was in place.

After the sellout online at the website, prices for the coins jumped on the secondary market.

Sales glitch explained

White released a statement Aug. 5 on behalf of the U.S. Mint explaining the sales glitch.

“Due to high demand for the American Eagle 2019 One Ounce Silver Enhanced Reverse Proof Coin (product 19XE), the United States Mint wanted to ensure that all sellable inventory was made available to the public for sale,” according to the statement. “A total of 97 units recently became available due to order cancellations. As transactions were cancelled, the product was inventoried and inspected per Mint standard processes.

“Today the Mint was working to move the inventory in our system to prepare it for sale. During that process, an error was made and the product was made available for sale via the Mint’s website and immediately sold out.

“All 97 coins were sold this morning. Our ‘Remind Me’ features automatically activated and we notified 43,127 people via SMS [cell phone alerts], and 30,907 people via email about the availability of this product. We expect another small number of units to become available for sale in the coming days. They will be placed on the Mint’s website as they become available.”

The coins continue to sell for a premium in the secondary market. For example, sellers at eBay list a number of recent completed sales of certified examples of the Reverse Proof Eagles, including one example graded Proof 70 by Numismatic Guaranty Corp. that realized $1,812.50 in a July, 12, 2020, auction.

The initial offering of the coin in November 2019 was snapped up quickly by Mint customers. It “sold out” within 20 minutes. The rapid sellout led to criticism from Mint customers, especially those who were unable to successfully place orders.
