2013-W American Silver Eagle Reverse Proof PCGS PR70 First Strike West Point Mint Set

The 2013-W American Silver Eagle Reverse Proof, graded PCGS PR70 with the First Strike designation, is one of the most sought-after modern Silver Eagle issues in the series. Struck at the West Point Mint and released exclusively as part of the 2013 West Point Mint Set, this coin features the distinctive reverse proof finish — frosted fields paired with mirror-like raised design elements — inverting the traditional proof aesthetic for a dramatic, high-contrast appearance. The obverse carries Adolph A. Weinman's iconic Walking Liberty design, while the reverse features John Mercanti's heraldic eagle. PCGS certified this example at PR70, the absolute top of the grading scale, confirming it is free of any post-production imperfections. The First Strike label further documents that this coin was delivered to PCGS within the first 30 days of initial release, a recognized collector designation. At one troy ounce of fine silver and $1 face value, this coin sits at the intersection of bullion weight and premium numismatic status, sealed in PCGS's signature tamper-evident holder with full certification barcode and security label on the reverse.
