2001-W NGC PF-69 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coin

The American Silver Eagles were first issued in 1986 as the debut coin of the American Eagle Program. 

Each coin contains 1 troy ounce of 99.9% fine silver and features a captivating design of Lady Liberty and the Heraldic Eagle, two of the most iconic symbols of American patriotism and pride in coinage history.

Proof Silver Eagles share the same setting as their bullion counterparts, but they are enhanced by the proof finish.

These exquisite Proof Silver Eagles, in particular, feature the "W" mint mark on the reverse side, indicating they were meticulously crafted at the West Point Mint.

The Sheldon Grading Scale ranges from 1 to 70 and is used as a parameter for third-party services, like NGC, which stands for Numismatic Guaranty Company, to appraise and grade coins.
