2023-W PCGS PR-70 1 oz American Eagle Silver Proof Coin

2023-W PCGS PR-70 1 oz American Eagle Silver Proof Coin

The American Silver Eagle is renowned as one of the best-selling and most popular silver coins worldwide. First issued by the US Mint in 1986 with the launch of the American Eagle Program, it has become a cornerstone of silver bullion.

Each coin contains 1 troy ounce of 99.9% fine silver, holds legal tender status, and features a stunning obverse design of Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic “Walking Liberty,” complemented by Emily Damstra’s striking Bald Eagle reverse on newer releases.

Beyond the bullion versions, the US Mint also produces Proof Silver Eagles, distinguished by their brilliant luster that enhances every intricate detail of the design. These proof coins, struck at the West Point Mint, proudly bear the “W” mint mark.

Today, SD Bullion offers 2023-W 1 oz American Eagle Silver Proof Coins, sealed in PCGS slabs and certified as PR-70 samples.

The Design

The obverse features the iconic Walking Liberty design, symbolizing a personified nation.

Lady Liberty is depicted with the American flag draped over her shoulder and oak branches in her arm. She is walking toward the sunrise with an outstretched arm, a gesture of welcome and hope for new beginnings. 

Above her is the inscription “LIBERTY,” while “IN GOD WE TRUST” and the year of mintage are also engraved.

Traditionally, the reverse showcased the Bald Eagle, a longstanding symbol of the United States. However, in 2021, marking the program’s 35th anniversary, the reverse was updated to depict an eagle perched on a branch. 

Additional inscriptions include the coin’s weight, metal content, and purity: “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ONE DOLLAR,” “1 OZ,” and “FINE SILVER.”
