The early dates are often the most sought-after in any numismatic series, and collectors usually prioritize the first release in a collection. The 1986 debut of the Proof Silver Eagle remains the highest-minted coin in the program’s history. Therefore, it’s no surprise that the 1988 release experienced a decline in demand by nearly 1 million coins compared to 1986.

All these 1988-S 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle Coins are in perfect condition. PF70 coins exhibit full, original mint luster without any detracting flaws. UCAM, or ultra-cameo proof, refers to a coin with strong, frosted designs overlaying deeply-mirrored, clear fields.

On the obverse of 1988-S Proof American Silver Eagles is the Walking Liberty design, created in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman. This striking portrayal of Liberty in left-profile relief captures her figure walking toward the sun on the horizon with the American flag draped around her.

The reverse side of the 1988-S 1 oz Proof Silver Eagle Coin features an image of the heraldic eagle, modernized for this collection in 1986 by John Mercanti. This design shows the bald eagle in front-facing relief with the US national shield, the arrows of war, and the olive branch of peace.
