From 1986 to 1992, proof Silver Eagle coins were minted at San Francisco and these coins bear the “S” mintmark. From 1993 to 2000, they were minted at Philadelphia and these coins bear the “P” mintmark. From 2001 to 2008, they were minted at West Point and these coins bear the “W” mintmark. No proof versions were minted in 2009. Beginning again in 2010, the proof coins were minted at West Point and bear the “W” mintmark.
The haze and dust like specs are from the camera feedback which can happen with ultra or deep cameo finishes. This coin is currently priced at the secondary market level.
The United States Mint offered a special set to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the edifice that houses the West Point Mint. Anticipation for the set was high since it would contain the first ever American Silver Eagle featuring an enhanced uncirculated finish.
This 2013 West Point Silver Eagle Set contains two coins bearing the “W” mint mark. The first coin features a reverse proof finish, with the raised design elements appearing mirrored and the background fields appearing frosted, or the reverse arrangement of the traditional proof finish. The Mint had previously offered Silver Eagles with a reverse proof finish within special sets issued in 2006, 2011, and 2012.
The second coin included in the set features an enhanced uncirculated finish, which was created by using a mixture of uncirculated, lightly frosted, and heavily frosted finishes. On the obverse, the mountains, red strikes and blue fields of the flag, Liberty’s sandals, and the date carry a heavily frosted finish. On the reverse, the ribbon held in the eagle’s beak, arrows, olive branch, and portions of the shield carry a heavily frosted finish. The remaining design elements or inscriptions carry an uncirculated finish. The background fields carry a lightly frosted finish. This contrast of three different finishes brings a fresh look to the classic design.
Introducing the (Type 2) proof strike version American Silver Eagle! This new era of this American treasure reveals a new reverse design, with a dynamic image of a real bald eagle in flight, carrying an oak branch, the eagle is shown flaring its wings to land. First and last year dates and designs typically have excellent upside potential and the 2021 American Silver Eagle Proof is no exception. These examples are certified in proof 70 condition by NGC and are designated Early Release with blue labels.
