Reverse: Miley Busiek’s family-of-eagles design, representing strength, unity, and national pride.
The Proof striking showcases deeply mirrored fields and razor-sharp frosted devices, creating exceptional visual contrast.
Grade and Certification
This example is certified by Numismatic Guaranty Company as PR70 Ultra Cameo, the highest grade awarded. PR70 Ultra Cameo coins are flawless under magnification, with bold frosted devices and intense mirror-like fields—representing the absolute pinnacle of Proof preservation.
Signature Authentication
Adding a rare and personal dimension, the holder is authentically hand-signed by Anna Escobedo Cabral, former Treasurer of the United States. Her signature directly connects this coin to U.S. Mint leadership, significantly enhancing its desirability and historical context.
