2024-W Proof Silver Eagle NGC PF-70 Congratulations Set Early Releases UCAM

2024-W Proof American Silver Eagle - NGC PF-70 Ultra Cameo - Congratulations Set - Early Releases

Offered here is an authentic 2024-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 Early Releases designation.

The 2024-W Proof Silver Eagle was offered as part of the 2024 United States Mint Congratulations Set, a special presentation featuring the popular one-ounce Proof American Silver Eagle. The Congratulations Set pedigree identifies this example with its original U.S. Mint product and adds another collectible distinction to the certified coin.

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 incorporates refinements introduced in 2021, including Weinman's artist mark.

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. The design was sculpted by U.S. Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso.

The coin was struck at the West Point Mint and bears the distinctive "W" mintmark.

Struck in 99.9% fine silver, the coin contains one troy ounce of silver and carries a legal tender face value of one dollar.

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

The Early Releases designation indicates that the coin met NGC's requirements for certification within the qualifying initial release period.
