Coins in PR69 condition showcase full, original mint luster with no more than two minor detracting flaws.

A DCAM label indicates a proof coin with strong, frosted designs and deeply-mirrored, clear fields.

Obverse

Walking Liberty is found on the obverse of the 2002-W Proof American Eagle Silver Coins. The design was created in 1916 and depicts Liberty in left-profile relief. With the American flag draped around her figure, she is shown with her right hand reaching out for the sun as her left carries the branches of oak and laurel. The inscriptions on this side include Liberty, In God We Trust, and 2002.

Reverse

The heraldic eagle of the United States is featured in the reverse field of 2002 Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins. This design was modernized for the release of this series in 1986 by John Mercanti. It depicts a front-facing bald eagle supporting the US national shield with a cluster of 13 stars over its head. The inscriptions read United States of America, E Pluribus Unum, 1 oz. Fine Silver – One Dollar, and the W mint mark of the West Point Mint.

History

In 2002, the demand for Proof American Eagle Silver Coins briefly dipped. During what was an otherwise upward trend in demand for the coins, the 2002 coin saw its mintage fall by 100,000 coins from 2001, only to rebound immediately in 2003 by a little more than 100,000 coins to surpass the 2001 release.
