2007 American Silver Eagle $1 NGC Gem Uncirculated Early Releases

The 2007 American Silver Eagle $1 is graded Gem Uncirculated by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) and carries the Early Releases designation, awarded to examples submitted within the first 30 days of the U. S. Mint's release. Struck in 1 troy ounce of 0. 999 fine silver, this coin is a flagship issue of the American Silver Eagle bullion program, which launched in 1986 and has become one of the most widely collected silver coin series in the world. The obverse showcases Adolph A. Weinman's celebrated Walking Liberty motif — originally created for the 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar — depicting Lady Liberty striding confidently toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag. The reverse presents John Mercanti's heraldic bald eagle, wings spread, bearing a shield on its breast and clutching arrows and an olive branch, surrounded by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and 1 OZ. FINE SILVER ONE DOLLAR. Encapsulated in NGC's distinctive hard plastic slab with the blue Early Releases label, this example is preserved at its certified Gem Uncirculated grade and is a strong representative of early-millennium Silver Eagle production.
