{{/presale}}After a five-year period of remarkable increases in mintage levels, the American Silver Eagle took a breather in 2012. Mintage had surged from 10.4 million coins in 2007 to a record-breaking 40.02 million in 2011. BGASC proudly presents the 2012-W Proof American Silver Eagle, now available with a special commemorative box.
Highlights:
Each 2012-W 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle Coin offered here is packaged in a US Mint presentation box and secured in a capsule. The coins also come with a Certificate of Authenticity from the mint.
Obverse
The obverse showcases the timeless image of Walking Liberty, originally created by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916. This iconic design adorned the Walking Liberty Half Dollar until 1947, making it one of the longest-running coin designs in American history.
Reverse
On the reverse side, you’ll find John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle design from 1986. Mercanti served as the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 1986 until his retirement in 2010.
History
While the overall production of American Silver Eagles saw a slight dip in 2012, it was still notable. Following the record-setting 40 million coins in 2011, the US Mint recorded sales of 34.8 million American Silver Eagle coins in 2012. Such variations are expected after anniversary years, akin to the spike in 2006 following the 20th-anniversary celebration.
The standard 2012-W Proof American Silver Eagle had a total mintage of 877,731, representing only a modest decrease. The primary drop occurred in the bullion coin category, falling from 40 million in 2011 to 33.7 million in 2012.
