2017-W PCGS PR-69 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coin
Proof Silver Eagles were included in the American Eagle Collection a few months after the official premiere of the program.
The debuting coin in 1986 was a one-ounce silver bullion coin, the US Silver Eagle.
Both coins share the same settings. They are one-ounce coins made of 99.9% fine silver, legal tender with a USD 1 denomination.
Their designs embody the core American values and principles established by the Founding Fathers. But in Proof Silver Eagles, Lady Liberty and the Heraldic Eagle are enhanced by the proof finish.
These Proof Silver Eagles are specifically produced at the West Point Mint, one of the branches of the US Mint, and bear its mintmark.

A PCGS PR-69 Coin
PCGS - Professional Coin Grading Service uses the Sheldon Grading Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70, to appraise and grade coins.
PR stands for Proof Coin, indicating a coin produced for collection purposes, which exhibits mirror-like surfaces in contrast with frosted design elements. 69 is the grade attributed to coins whose flaws are almost invisible.
