2013-W Proof American Silver Eagle - NGC PF-70 Ultra Cameo - First Releases

Offered here is an authentic 2013-W Proof American Silver Eagle, struck at the West Point Mint and certified by NGC as PF-70 Ultra Cameo First Releases.

The 2013-W Proof Silver Eagle is a notable modern issue in the American Silver Eagle series. It was produced as the collector proof counterpart to one of the highest-mintage bullion years of the early 2010s and remains a popular West Point proof date for certified registry and type collectors.

The coin carries the NGC First Releases designation, indicating that it was received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of official release. That early-submission attribution is a popular collecting distinction within the certified proof Silver Eagle market.

The 2013-W Proof Silver Eagle had a mintage of 934,818 coins, including pieces issued individually and in supplemental collector sets.

The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman’s celebrated Walking Liberty design, originally introduced on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916. Liberty is shown striding toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag, with the date 2013 below.

The reverse features John Mercanti’s classic Heraldic Eagle design, depicting an eagle behind a shield with an olive branch and arrows in its talons and thirteen stars positioned above. The distinctive “W” mintmark appears on the reverse.

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 First Releases designation recognizes that the coin was received by NGC within the first 30 days of release.
