2025-W NGC PF-70 First Day of Issue US Army Privy 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coin

2025-W NGC PF-70 First Day of Issue US Army Privy 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coin

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army on June 14, 2025, the U.S. Mint unveiled a special edition Silver Eagle featuring a distinctive privy mark. 

Since its founding in 1775, the United States Army has served as the backbone of the nation’s defense, standing as the oldest and most expansive branch of the U.S. military. Its enduring mission to safeguard liberty and ensure national security has shaped American history and reinforced its role as a global force for peace and stability.

These US Silver Eagles, in particular, are proof coins produced in the West Point branch. Therefore, they showcase the “W” mint mark and a stunning mirror-like luster. They were also purchased on the first day of their official release and submitted to an NGC appraisal.

SD Bullion offers the 2025-W 250th US Army Anniversary Privy 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coin, graded by NGC as a PF-70 First Day of Issue coin.
