{{/presale}}With its modernized design on the reverse field and its beautiful iconic image on the Obverse, this series serves as a popular choice for collectors and investors alike. While the mintage of proof versions dipped in 2008, the housing market crashed and saw the rise of the BU version as the mintage increased to over 20 million, a record for the series at the time. Today, BGASC.com offers you the 2008-W 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle for purchase.
Highlights:
Coins in this product listing are graded PF69 from the NGC and as such will be shipped in NGC protective plastic slabs. PF69 coins are near-perfect as they feature full, original, mint luster and no more than two minor detractions. The UCAM designation indicates proofs that have strong, frosted design elements with deeply mirrored clear background fields.
Obverse
2008-W Proof American Silver Eagles include the Walking Liberty design on the obverse. This design features Liberty clutching oaken branches whilst draped in the American flag, walking towards the sun on the left. Inscriptions on this field include LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, 2008.
Reverse
The modernized version of the heraldic eagle appears on the reverse of all 2008-W 1 oz Proof American Eagles. This version includes the 13 five-point stars above the eagles head. This image is front and center with identifying marks surrounding it. Inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1 OZ, FINE SILVER, ONE DOLLAR.
History
The West Point Mint has struck the Proof American Silver Eagle Series since 2001. Before that, the Philadelphia Mint housed these coins for nine years. This well-known coin program has been a staple of the precious metals market since its debut in 1986.
