2001-W American Silver Eagle $1 NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo — Mercanti Signed

The 2001-W American Silver Eagle Dollar graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo represents the pinnacle of the modern U. S. proof coin series. Struck at the West Point Mint, this 1 troy oz, 0. 999 fine silver coin carries the "W" mint mark on its reverse and earned a perfect PF70 designation from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, confirming a flawless proof surface with no imperfections visible under magnification. The Ultra Cameo designation reflects the deep, frosted relief designs set against mirror-polished fields — the most dramatic contrast the proof standard allows. The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's iconic Walking Liberty design, first introduced on the 1916 half dollar and revived for the American Silver Eagle series launched in 1986. The reverse displays the heraldic eagle adapted by John M. Mercanti, who served as the 12th Chief Engraver of the U. S. Mint. S. Mint history.
