The American Proof Silver Eagle
The Investment Silver Standard: American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins
 
The Proof Edition American Silver Eagle Dollars are made of one full ounce of Pure Silver. The first and only .999 Fine Silver coin ever produced in the United States! The obverse design was originally used on the Liberty Walking half dollar, 1916-1947.
 
The coin itself is sealed in a hard plastic capsule then seated inside a velvet hinged case complete with the U.S. Treasury Seal. This stunning velvet box is then protected by an outer box with silver embossing. Each attractively packaged coin comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity from the United States Mint.
 
Proof Editions
The term "Proof" refers to a method of manufacture which produces a superior quality coin. Proofs are struck on specially prepared planchets using highly polished dies. They are struck multiple times at low speed and are made expressly for collectors in Proof Sets. Modern Proof coins are easily identified by their mirror-like finish and frosted features.

The American Silver Eagle
 
The American Silver Eagle is the official silver bullion coin of the United States. It was first released by the United States Mint on November 24, 1986. It is struck only in the 1 troy oz denomination which has a nominal face value of one dollar and is guaranteed to contain one troy ounce of .999 pure silver.
 
It is authorized by the United States Congress and its weight and content is certified by the United States Mint. The United States Mint also produces a proof version for coin collectors.
 
The Silver Eagle has been produced at three mints. One is the Philadelphia mint, and some of those issued there carry a "P" mintmark. In the early years of the series, the San Francisco mint issued proofs and these bear an "S". More recent proofs are from the mint at West Point, New York. The latter have a "W" on the reverse.
