From 1986 when the Proof Silver Eagles were introduced until 1992, the San Francisco Mint issued the nation’s leading proof silver collectible coin. From 1993 to 2000, the Philadelphia Mint had the responsibility. It wasn’t until 2001 that the West Point Mint would be the regular home of the Proof Silver Eagle. However, there was one time prior to that when the West Point Mint issued a Proof Silver Eagle: 1995. Just 30,125 of these 1995-W Proof Silver American Eagles were struck and it was only because of the 10th anniversary of the series.
All of the 1995-W 1 oz Proof Silver American Eagles in this product listing come to you with a perfect PF70 certification from the NGC. Coins in this condition have full, original mint luster and there are no detracting flaws of any kind present on the designs or surfaces. The included UCAM label identifies the coins as ultra-cameo specimens with strong, frosted designs overlaying deeply-mirrored, clear background fields.
Walking Liberty is shown on the obverse of the 1995-W 1 oz Proof Silver American Eagle. Adolph A. Weinman created this design in 1916 and submitted it to the US Mint for consideration to replace the designs of the Barber Coinage. It was eventually chosen for the US half dollar and was featured on that coin until 1947.
The heraldic eagle of the United States is the oldest coin design in American history and it has featured on the reverse of 1 oz Proof Silver American Eagles every year since the introduction of the program. Designed by John Mercanti in 1986 for this series, you will find the American bald eagle with the national shield on its chest and a triangular cluster of 13 stars above its head.
