Proof coins have superb eye appeal and are the best quality coins produced by the United States Mint. The term proof refers to the method of manufacture and not the condition of the coin. Proof coins are struck on specially prepared coin planchets/blanks. They are struck at least twice on highly polished dies presenting a frosted foreground and mirror-like background.
Proof coins are struck in limited quantities just for collectors. This new 2024 release minted at the West Point Mint and bearing the W mintmark is the ultimate coin for Silver Eagle collectors! PCGS has certified this piece in perfect PR70 Deep Cameo condition, the highest numeric numismatic grade possible. From an authorized mintage of 450,000 coins, only 45,000 coins are designated by the United States Mint as Advance Release coins. Eligible coins are sent to coin grading services like PCGS ahead of the official release date and a graded in limited quantities ahead of coins designated as First Day of Issue coins!
