PCGS PR-70 Advanced Release Gold Foil Label 2024-W 1 oz American Silver Eagle Proof Coin
The introduction of American Silver Eagles in the bullion market was a quick success. The credibility of being the official silver coin of the US allied to high purity levels and patriotic design, contributed to easy acceptance among investors and collectors.
The US Mint produces Silver Eagles in Bullion, Burnished, and Proof versions.
This coin, in particular, is a proof, part of the 2024 edition, made in the West Point branch, and carries the “W” mint mark. Additionally, it is graded as PR-70 by PCGS, sealed in a slab with a Gold Foil Label and the “Advanced Release” designation, meaning it was purchased even before the official release date to the general public.
Only a handful of bullion dealers are allowed to make this kind of bulk purchase in advance from the US Mint. Therefore, these coins, available today from SD Bullion in a very limited supply, are a great addition to any coin collection.

The Design
The obverse displays the Walking Liberty, created by Adolph A. Weinman.
Lady Liberty, the feminine personification of the nation, walks toward the sun's rays with a stretched arm, the American flag draped on her shoulder, and oak branches on her other arm.
The inscriptions engraved on this side include the word “LIBERTY” on top, the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2024” at the bottom rim.
The reverse design created by Emily Damstra and introduced in 2021 in the Silver Eagles coin, features a Bald Eagle perching on a branch, accompanied by the coin’s weight, metal content, and purity reading “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ONE DOLLAR,” “1 OZ,” and “FINE SILVER.”
A PCGS PR-70 Advanced Release Coin
The PCGS - Professional Coin is an independent third-party grading service that uses the 1 to 70 Sheldon Scale to appraise and grade coins according to their condition.
The PCGS calls “Advanced Release” those coins that were purchased before the first day of issue at the US Mint branch.
PR stands for Proof Coin, indicating a coin not intended for widespread circulation but for collection purposes. Proof coins exhibit mirror-like surfaces and frosted design elements. Since it has never been in circulation, the coin is flawless, hence a 70 grade.
