2022-W Proof Silver Eagle PCGS PR-70 First Strike DCAM

2022-W Proof American Silver Eagle - PCGS PR-70 DCAM - First Strike

Offered here is an authentic 2022-W Proof American Silver Eagle, struck at the West Point Mint and certified by PCGS as PR-70 Deep Cameo First Strike.

The American Silver Eagle has been the official silver bullion coin of the United States since its introduction in 1986. Proof Silver Eagles are produced specifically for collectors using specially prepared planchets and dies, resulting in highly polished fields and sharply frosted design elements.

The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's celebrated Walking Liberty design, originally introduced on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916. The modern Silver Eagle presentation includes Weinman's artist mark and enhanced details based on the U.S. Mint's historical assets.

The reverse features Emily Damstra's Eagle Landing design, introduced to the American Silver Eagle series in 2021. It depicts an American bald eagle descending while carrying an oak branch in its talons.

Struck in 99.9% pure silver, the coin contains one troy ounce of silver, carries a legal tender face value of one dollar, and bears the "W" mintmark of the West Point Mint.

Graded PR-70 by PCGS, this example has received the highest numerical proof grade assigned by PCGS. The DCAM, or Deep Cameo, designation recognizes the strong visual contrast between the deeply mirrored fields and frosted design elements.

The First Strike designation indicates that the coin met PCGS requirements for certification within the qualifying initial release period.
