Overview

Historical significance

The American Silver Eagle is the official silver bullion coin of the United States, first released by the United States Mint in 1986. The Burnished version (often identified by the 'W' mint mark for West Point) is produced for collectors and has a matte finish, distinct from the brilliant uncirculated bullion coins. The 'First Strike' designation from PCGS indicates the coin was among the first issued by the mint during its initial release period, which can add to its collector value. The Walking Liberty design is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful designs on U.S. coinage.

Estimated value

$144 (as indicated by the 'GUIDE: $144' in the image, for a PCGS SP69 'First Strike' 2022-W Burnished Silver Eagle)

Care & preservation

This coin is encapsulated in a professional grading slab (PCGS SP69), which is designed to protect it from environmental damage and physical handling. For optimum preservation, keep the slabbed coin away from extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight. Avoid dropping or scratching the slab. Do not attempt to open the slab, as this will damage its integrity and invalidate the grading. Clean the plastic slab with a soft, lint-free cloth if necessary, but never attempt to clean the coin itself.
