2021 San Francisco
Mint Proof Set Tuskegee Quarter Clad
NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo
Advance Releases
The 2021 S Proof Tuskegee Clad Quarter graded by NGC PF70
Ultra Cameo with Advanced Releases designation.
70 is a perfect grade for a coin.
This coin is from the 7-Coin Clad Proof Set from the San Francisco Mint. The special San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge
label further specializes this coin and helps call to attention the coins mintage
at the US Mint San Francisco Mint facility.
The final
quarter in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program series honoring
the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site in Alabama. The reverse design depicts
a Tuskegee Airman pilot suiting up to join the fight during World War II with
the Moton Field control tower in the background. The pilot looks upward with
pride and confidence as two P- 51 Mustangs pass overhead. The inscription “THEY
FOUGHT TWO WARS” is arced across the top as a reference to the dual battles the
Tuskegee Airmen fought – fascism abroad and racial discrimination at home.
Inscriptions are “TUSKEGEE AIRMEN,” “ALABAMA,” “2021,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
Advanced Release is
the only official designation made by the US Mint. Advanced Releases coins are coins sold to the
18 largest coin buyers from the US Mint but represent only a fraction of the
coins sold by the US Mint. To be
eligible for the Advanced Releases designation NGC must have the coins before
the official release date from the US Mint.
The US Mint normally provides Advanced Releases coins to the largest
dealers two days before the official release, meaning they must be immediately
submitted to the grading companies to receive this extremely limited and
desirable designation.
Proof coins are
coins that the US Mint makes differently than standard circulating coins used
for change. Proof coins are manufactured
by striking the coin numerous times under increased pressure to make the field
(flat portion of the coin) have a mirrored finish. Proof coins are specifically made for
collectors since they have better eye appeal than standard circulating coins.
Grading companies usually annotate proof coins with either PR or PF before the number
grade. Additionally, exceptional coins
will be given Ultra Cameo or DCAM (deep cameo) designation for coins where the
difference between the surface of the coin’s devices and the mirrored finish of
the coin’s field are very pronounced.
