2021-W Proof Silver Eagle NGC PF-70 T-1 Congratulations Set First Day of Issue UCAM

2021-W Proof American Silver Eagle - NGC PF-70 Ultra Cameo - Congratulations Set - First Day of Issue

Offered here is an authentic 2021-W Proof American Silver Eagle, struck at the West Point Mint and certified by NGC as PF-70 Ultra Cameo, with the Congratulations Set pedigree and First Day of Issue designation.

The 2021 American Silver Eagle is an especially significant issue in the history of the series. During 2021, the U.S. Mint transitioned from the original Heraldic Eagle reverse to the new Eagle Landing reverse, creating two distinct Silver Eagle types for the year.

This example originates from the 2021 Congratulations Set, a special U.S. Mint product featuring a West Point Proof American Silver Eagle. The Congratulations Set pedigree adds another level of collectibility by identifying the coin's original U.S. Mint product.

The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's celebrated Walking Liberty design, originally introduced on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916. Liberty is depicted walking toward the rising sun while carrying branches of laurel and oak.

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 PF-70 by NGC, this example has received the highest numerical proof grade assigned by NGC. The Ultra Cameo designation recognizes the strong visual contrast between the deeply mirrored fields and sharply frosted design elements.

The First Day of Issue designation further identifies this example as having met NGC's requirements for its special first-day certification designation.
