1998 Silver Eagle Proof – PCGS PR70 DCAM “Registry Perfection”
Whether you’re chasing a top-ranked Silver Eagle registry set or simply want a flawless slice of American artistry, the 1998 Silver Eagle Proof in perfect PCGS PR70 DCAM delivers eye appeal and scarcity. With fewer than 3,000 coins certified at this lofty grade by PCGS, you’re securing the absolute best the Philadelphia Mint produced in the late ’90s.
The coin presents America’s two most celebrated silver images in deep-cameo. Weinman’s Walking Liberty strides toward a rising sun on the obverse, her billowing flag and laurel-oak bouquet rendered in satiny frost that leaps off pitch-black mirrors. Flip it over, and Mercanti’s heraldic eagle dazzles with razor-sharp feathers, a shield of strength at its breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, and thirteen stars forming an overhead constellation—all amplified by the jet-black proof fields that only a PR70 DCAM can deliver.
Coin Highlights:
-
Perfect-70 Rarity: Only ≈2,800 examples sit at PCGS’s top pop (NGC census ≈3,300), making true perfection a tight club for elite registry competitors.
-
Mintage of 450,728: A modest proof output compared with modern runs, giving the 1998 Silver Earle (Proof) solid date scarcity to underpin long-term demand.
-
Deep-Cameo Ultra-black mirrors and thick, frosted devices create the visual punch collectors crave—and only a PR70 guarantees flawless, haze-free surfaces.
-
Registry-Set Magnet: With fewer perfect coins than there are active Silver Eagle registry sets, every PR70 that enters a collection tightens supply—and bumps point totals—across PCGS leaderboards.
-
PCGS Blue Label Security: Encapsulated in the latest tamper-evident holder with true-view imaging and certification lookup for worry-free authenticity.
-
Risk-Free Ownership: Backed by our 14-day money-back guarantee.
