2025-W PCGS PR-70 First Day of Issue 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coin - John Dannreuther Label

The American Silver Eagle is one of the world’s best-selling silver coins. Introduced by the US Mint in 1986 as part of the American Eagle Program, it has become a cornerstone of silver collections.

Each coin is crafted with 1 Troy oz of 99.9% pure silver, carries legal tender status, and showcases an iconic obverse design: Adolph A. Weinman’s timeless “Walking Liberty.” Since 2021, this has been paired with Emily Damstra’s striking reverse depiction of a Bald Eagle, enhancing its appeal.

These coins, in particular, are US Silver Eagles from the 2025 edition. They were purchased from the US Mint on the first day of their public release and sealed by PCGS with the John Dannreuther Label.

John Dannreuther is a co-founder of PCGS and is presented in the exclusive Founders Mark of Distinction holder. A leading coin expert, Dannreuther has authored numerous works on U.S. coins, focusing on rarities and die varieties. His notable contributions include the award-winning "The Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection" and a groundbreaking article in the ANA Journal.
