2018-W 1 Dollar 1 Ounce Silver Eagle “Congratulations” NGC PF70UC First Day Of Issue - Mercanti Signed Label

Secure this Scarce 2018 Silver Eagle and You’ll Be Saying “Congratulations!”

These Silver Eagles are from the 2018 United States Mint Congratulations Sets. The distinctive sets included a special mint-produced presentation folder with space inside to write a personal message, presumably to a recipient who was receiving the set as a gift to acknowledge an important event or milestone like a wedding, graduation or anniversary. These sets were comprised of proof Silver Eagles minted exclusively at the West Point Mint. Compared to other 2018-dated Silver Eagle Proofs, these are much more limited. How limited? They’re actually 15 times fewer – with the mintage for Congratulations Proofs set at just 17,862 compared to 268,006 for regular-issue proofs!

Each of the 2018-dated Congratulations Silver Eagle Proofs available in this offer have been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be in perfect Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly graded 2018 One-Ounce Silver Eagle “Congratulations” Proof will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, your proof will be certified as a First Day of Issue (FDI) coin by NGC – independent authentication that your coin was released by the mint during the premier day of the series' issue!

If that wasn’t enough, your proof will also have a special label personally signed by John Mercanti, the U.S. Mint’s 12^th Chief Engraver and the genius behind the Heraldic Eagle design on the coin’s reverse. The label and your proof will be sonically sealed in an acrylic case – giving you the best in protection while granting clear sightlines into every beautiful detail.
