2016 W Proof American Silver Eagle 1 Ounce Coin in OGP with CoA

• 30th Anniversary Issue.

• The obverse (heads) of this coin features Adolph A. Weinman’s full–length figure of Liberty in full stride, enveloped in folds of the American flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left. “30^th ANNIVERSARY” is incused on the edge of the coin.

• The reverse (tails) features a heraldic eagle with shield, an olive branch in the right talon and arrows in the left.

• Each coin bears the “W” mint mark reflecting its striking at the West Point Mint and is packaged in a blue velvet, satin–lined presentation case accompanied by a 30^th anniversary Certificate of Authenticity.

• 2016 marks the 30th anniversary of this coin program, which is the U.S. Mint’s most important silver coin series. The production of the American Silver Eagle series is one of the Mint’s top priorities, as well as one of their most challenging undertakings as demand continues to rise. It is a major staple of modern American numismatics, and has a reputation to uphold. Silver Eagles have brought millions of new collectors into coin collecting and will continue to bring in more in the future.

• Additional products marking the anniversary are widely-anticipated, but have not yet been announced by the Mint due to a legal provision enacted late in 2015. Silver Eagles, however, have been openly announced for 2016, and the bullion American Silver Eagles were already released early in January. One unique fact that has been announced is that all of the Proof and Burnished American Silver Eagles issued this year will include incused edge inscriptions noting the 30th anniversary. This is something that has never been used before on these coins, which will make the 2016 collector versions distinct from all the other years these coins were minted!

• Because the U.S. Mint has never issued Silver Eagles with such inscriptions this will be a sought after issue.
