2018-W Proof American Silver Eagle PCGS PR70DCAM First Strike – One Troy Ounce of .999 Fine Silver Offered is a 2018-W Proof American Silver Eagle, struck at the United States Mint at West Point and certified by Professional Coin Grading Service as PCGS PR70DCAM. The coin also carries the PCGS First Strike designation. PR70 is the highest numerical grade assigned on the 70-point grading scale, while the Deep Cameo designation recognizes the strong contrast between the coin’s deeply mirrored fields and its frosted design elements. The result is an especially attractive presentation of the classic Walking Liberty and heraldic eagle designs.

Mercanti Appearance and Certification This coin exhibits the deeply mirrored fields, sharply frosted devices and pronounced black-and-white contrast associated with a Deep Cameo proof. PCGS has assigned the coin the perfect numerical grade of PR70, confirming that no post-production imperfections were detected under the grading service’s prescribed examination. The coin remains sealed in its PCGS protective holder with the American flag First Strike label. The holder, certification label and coin are included as shown. Historical Background Introduced in 1986, the American Silver Eagle is the official silver bullion coin of the United States. Proof Silver Eagles are specially manufactured collector versions of the series, using carefully prepared dies and planchets to create mirrored backgrounds and frosted design elements. The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman’s celebrated Walking Liberty design, first used on the United States half dollar in 1916. The reverse features John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle behind a shield, the original reverse design used on Silver Eagles from 1986 through 2020. The “W” mintmark appearing on the reverse confirms production at the West Point Mint. The PCGS First Strike designation indicates that the coin was received by PCGS or shipped from the United States Mint within the grading service’s qualifying early-release period. Combining one troy ounce of fine silver, a genuine West Point mintmark, specialized proof production, Deep Cameo contrast and the highest PCGS numerical grade, this example represents a desirable collector version of the American Silver Eagle.
