History of Silver American Eagles
The Silver American Eagle Proof coin has long been cherished by collectors for its stunning design and high-quality craftsmanship. Struck in 99.9% fine silver, this coin is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a valuable investment. The Proof version, in particular, stands out due to its meticulously polished finish, frosted details, and mirrored background, which enhance the coin's aesthetic appeal.
Making its debut on November 24, 1986, the Silver American Eagle has a rich history. Initially, a decision was made in 1982 to sell a significant portion of the U.S.'s silver holdings to balance the federal budget, amounting to around 105.1 million Troy ounces. However, due to concerns about the impact on the silver market, this decision was later reversed. In 1985, the Liberty Coin Act brought the issue back into focus, leading to the official introduction of the Silver American Eagle coin in the U.S. market. Since its inception, the coin has been minted at three different locations, each marked with an "S," "P," or "W." Proof versions were absent in 2009 but resumed in 2010 at the West Point Mint. From 2016 to 2017, all three locations contributed to the production, with West Point taking the lead.
Enduring Design
The 2023 Silver American Eagle Proof coin continues to showcase the iconic design that has graced it since its debut in 1986. In 2021, to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the American Eagle Coin Program, these beloved silver collectibles underwent significant changes.
Value and Investment Potential
The 2023 Silver American Eagle Proof coin not only holds significant aesthetic value but also boasts a strong track record as an investment. Over the years, these coins have demonstrated a consistent increase in value due to their limited availability and the enduring appeal of their design. Collectors often track the market value of these coins, which can appreciate significantly over time.
Proof coins are highly sought-after coins with a unique appearance. Proof coins are minted on meticulously polished planchets, resulting in reflective fields and a frosted appearance for the coin's design. Proof coins directly acquired from the U.S. Mint lack an official grade. Investors often seek to bolster the quality and value of their proof coins by obtaining a certified grade from a trusted third-party institution like the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC).
These grades assess various factors, including the presence of blemishes, the clarity of inscriptions and images, and the absence of discoloration. Coins receive grades on the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from one to seventy. A perfect score of seventy (70) designates a flawless, museum-quality coin when magnified five times.
At the United States Gold Bureau, we manage the coin grading process on behalf of our clients, ensuring that our inventory primarily consists of PF70-graded proof coins – the highest quality grade endorsed by NGC.
