2024-W Proof American Silver Eagle - NGC PF-70 Ultra Cameo - First 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 First Releases.

The 2024-W Proof Silver Eagle is a notable modern issue in the American Silver Eagle series. It continues the West Point Mint’s collector proof tradition within the Type 2 era, pairing Adolph A. Weinman’s refreshed Walking Liberty obverse with Emily Damstra’s landing-eagle reverse.

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 2024-W Proof Silver Eagle had a mintage of 381,214 coins, placing it among the lower-mintage West Point proof Silver Eagles of the Type 2 period.

The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman’s celebrated Walking Liberty design, originally introduced on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916 and refreshed in 2021. Liberty is shown striding toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag, with the date 2024 below.

The reverse features Emily Damstra’s Type 2 eagle design, introduced in 2021, depicting a bald eagle approaching a landing with an oak branch in its talons. The distinctive “W” mintmark appears on the reverse. Type 2 coins also include a reeded-edge variation as an added security feature.

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.
