Struck in highly pure 89% fine silver, this piece is one of just 398,000 coins ever struck at the United States Mint in Philadelphia. And of that relatively small mintage, only a baker’s dozen has ever been certified as being in gleaming Proof-Like condition—and we have one of them just waiting for someone to claim it!

It's one of just 13 coins in existence to have been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in Proof-Like condition, meaning that even though it wasn’t struck as a proof, this coin’s brilliant and reflective finish has earned it a “Proof-Like” designation. It features details that are so crisp and fields so luminescent that they almost match the brightness of special proof coins struck just for collectors! This is an exceedingly rare certification. In fact, the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) has graded just 252 coins from the original mintage—and none of them rated a Proof-Like designation!

This coin has also received a high collector grade from NGC, achieving a Choice About Uncirculated 58 (AU58) rating that is just two points away from being Uncirculated. It retains almost all of its original mint luster even after being struck two centuries ago!

This is an absolutely wonderful example of what the U.S. Mint was already capable of less than 40 years after its founding. Bring that history home and secure it for your collection today.
