I had to use four different credit cards before one was accepted. They all have a very large balance of available credit. Maybe it’s the credit card company’s fault anyway I finally got it done

Introduction
The 2012 1 oz American Silver Eagle graded NGC MS69 is a near-perfect example of the official silver bullion coin of the United States. Certified MS69 by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), this coin displays strong original luster and sharp design detail with only minimal imperfections. Containing one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, the 2012 Silver Eagle combines precious metal content with the collector appeal of a high-grade certified example.
History
The American Silver Eagle was introduced in 1986 following passage of the Liberty Coin Act of 1985. Created as the official silver bullion coin of the United States, the series provides investors with a government-backed way to own physical silver while also appealing to collectors through its classic American imagery and annual issues.
The U.S. Mint issued 33,742,500 bullion Silver Eagles in 2012, making it the 27th annual issue in the series. Production declined from the record levels reached in 2011 but remained historically strong as demand for physical silver continued. The 2012 issue retained the original pairing of Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty obverse and John Mercanti's heraldic eagle reverse. Certified NGC MS69, this example sits just one point below the highest numerical grade on the 70-point grading scale.
Design
The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's celebrated Walking Liberty design, originally introduced on the half dollar in 1916. Liberty strides toward the rising sun while draped in the American flag and carrying branches of laurel and oak. The inscriptions LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the date 2012 complete the obverse.
The reverse features John Mercanti's heraldic eagle design. A bald eagle appears behind a shield while holding an olive branch and arrows, with thirteen stars arranged above to represent the original states. The inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1 OZ. FINE SILVER, and ONE DOLLAR complete the reverse. This original Type 1 reverse remained in use through the first half of 2021, when the new Type 2 reverse was introduced.
