2024-W PCGS PR-70 First Day of Issue 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coin

2024-W PCGS PR-70 First Day of Issue 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coin

The American Eagle Program is one of the most successful coin programs in the world. It premiered in 1986 through the strike of the first Gold and Silver Eagle coins.

The Silver Eagle are only produced weighing 1 Troy oz of 99.9% fine silver. Unlike its gold counterpart, Silver Eagles have no fractional options. However, the US Mint crafts Proof Silver Eagles intended for collectors.

Proof Silver Eagles display a unique brilliant aspect because of the proof finish and a “W” mint mark, referring to the West Point branch in charge of their production.

Today, SD Bullion offers 2024-W 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coins, purchased on day #1 of publicly availability, sealed in PCGS slabs, and graded as PR-70 coins.

The new reverse mintage, introduced in 2021 by Emily Damstra, showcases a Bald Eagle perching on a branch, and the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ONE DOLLAR,” “1 OZ,” and “FINE SILVER,” referring to the coin’s weight, metal content, and purity.
