2025-W PCGS PR-69 Advanced Releases US Army Privy 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coin - Army Label

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army on June 14, 2025, the U.S. Mint has released a special edition American Silver Eagle, distinguished by a unique privy mark honoring this historic milestone.

Founded in 1775, the United States Army is the nation’s oldest and most prominent military branch. For over two and a half centuries, the Army has played a central role in defending the nation, promoting global freedom, and shaping American history. Its legacy is built on courage, discipline, and unwavering service to the country.

These special edition Silver Eagles are proof coins struck at the West Point Mint and bear the “W” mint mark, along with a remarkable mirror-like finish. Acquired before the coin’s official release date, each piece was submitted for grading and encapsulation by PCGS and sealed with a custom Army Label featuring a military helicopter.
