The U.S. Mint was created directly through legislation. It was established by the Coinage Act of 1792, which authorized the production of coins and the establishment of a national mint. This act aimed to create a standardized currency and promote economic stability in the newly formed United States.

Did the us mint produce a 1993s and 1993p silver eagle proof?

In 1993, the US Mint produced a American Eagle Silver Bullion proof coin with a mint mark of "P." The 1993 coins that carry a mint mark of "S" and "W" were in a mint state of MS65. Mint State (MS) is a value used to grade the condition of the coin. This range runs from MS60 (not a good quality collector coin) to MS70 (a near perfect UN-CIRCULATED coin) sold directly by the U.S. Mint. The "S" and "W" mint marks indicate that the coin was minted at either San Francisco (S mint mark) or West-point (W mint mark). Even though these coins were specially minted and handled they may have a grade less than MS65 and, in rare cases grade higher than MS65
