Why add this perfectly struck four-piece First Day of Issue 2022-W American Silver Eagle proof coin set to your collection of precious metal treasures?
The Type-2 American Silver Eagle design was introduced by the U.S. Mint in 2021, on the occasion of the Silver Eagle series' 35th anniversary. The historic Walking Liberty image remains unchanged on the obverse, while the classic Type-1 heraldic eagle graphic has been replaced with a lifelike interpretation of an eagle landing on the reverse. 2022 is the first full year of issue of the Type-2 Silver Eagle.

- Each coin features the "W" Mint mark, indicating their origin as the West Point Mint.
- The 40.60 mm diameter coins are each struck from 1 Troy oz. of .999 fine silver.
- Each coin is minted with a specially designed anti-counterfeit interrupted reeded edge.
- Each coin was awarded the desirable First Day of Issue designation.
- A hand signed label is included with each of the perfectly graded coins.
Magnificent Patriotic Imagery
Obverse: Lady Liberty is illustrated walking towards the sunrise on the obverse, draped in an American flag while carrying an oak and laurel bouquet. Inscriptions include "LIBERTY," "2022," "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the artist's monogram "AW." The 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar was the first coin to feature this powerful rendition of Liberty by Adolph A. Weinman, a renowned early 20th century sculptor.
Reverse: The reverse is adorned with the image of an eagle clutching an oak branch, with its wings lifted as it prepares to land, surrounded by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," the Mint mark "W" and "ONE DOLLAR." Award-winning science illustrator and U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program member Emily Damstra is credited with the design. Ms. Damstra's design was rendered suitable for coinage in three-dimensional format by U.S. Mint sculptor/engraver Michael Gaudioso.
Impeccable Proof 70 Set
Each component in this 2022-W American Silver Eagle proof coin set was submitted to an independent third party grading service within twenty-four hours of release and judged to be in flawless Proof 70 condition.
