A landmark release for the series, this 2026-W Proof American Silver Eagle lands at the intersection of the coin’s 40th anniversary and America’s 250th birthday, certified PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC with a First Day of Issue label confirming early submission for grading.
Key Features:
- Purity and weight: 1 troy oz of .999 fine silver
- Metal: Silver, struck in proof finish at the West Point Mint
- Obverse: Walking Liberty wrapped in the flag, striding toward a rising sun
- Reverse: Eagle landing on a branch, wings spread and talons extended
The obverse carries Adolph Weinman’s Walking Liberty design, her figure draped in folds of the American flag as she moves forward with laurel and oak branches gathered in her left arm. “LIBERTY” curves above her head, “IN GOD WE TRUST” sits to the right beside a small Liberty Bell privy mark numbered 250, and the dual date “1776-2026” runs along the bottom rim to mark the nation’s semiquincentennial. The reverse depicts an eagle coming down to land, wings raised high and talons extended toward a branch below, framed by “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” above and “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “ONE DOLLAR,” and “1 OZ. FINE SILVER” filling out the rim. A small W mint mark sits near the wing, marking the West Point strike.
This issue carries a Mint-set cap of 500,000 coins, a defined limit rather than an open bullion run, making it a genuine one-year proof release. The coin ships sealed in an NGC holder, its label printed with the 1776-2026 dual date, the Liberty Bell 250th Anniversary Privy designation, a blue “1st” First Day of Issue banner, and the PF 70 Ultra Cameo grade, with a barcode for verification through NGC.
Few modern releases combine a one-year design, a hard mintage limit, and a perfect grade the way this coin does. Whether you’re filling out a Silver Eagle type set or marking the country’s 250th anniversary with a piece that carries real numismatic weight, this coin earns a place in either collection.
