Since 1986, the United States Mint has included BU and Proof variations of the 1 oz American Eagle Silver Series in their offerings for most years. Collectors have developed a strong affinity for the proof coin due to its unique visual contrast, while numismatists who value exceptional visual quality gravitate towards certified versions of the Proof Eagle. Today, you have the opportunity to get 2002-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins online in near-perfect condition at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The 2002 release of the Proof American Eagle Silver Coin came one year after the 15th-anniversary issue in the series. The coin had a lower mintage than its immediate predecessor but was higher than many of the dates in the 1990s.
Obverse
Adorning the obverse of the 2002-W Proof Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins is the renowned design of Walking Liberty. Created by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916, this depiction showcases Liberty in full-length relief, elegantly striding towards the sun on the horizon. Notably, the design incorporates the American flag, draped gracefully around Liberty’s figure. The inscriptions read LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and 2002.
Reverse
In the reverse design of 2002-W Proof American Eagle Silver Coins, the US Mint features John Mercantis modern take on the heraldic eagle. This image shows the bald eagle with the US national shield. The inscriptions here include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, 1 OZ. FINE SILVER, ONE DOLLAR, and the W mint mark.
History
The 2002 Proof American Eagle was sandwiched between two periods of increased demand. The 2001 coin sold nearly 100,000 more units as a result of the 15th anniversary of the series. The subsequent issues in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 all saw year-over-year growth.
