The Proof American Silver Eagle is a favorite among collectors thanks to the careful production process used by the United States Mint. These coins are struck using specially selected blanks, polished dies, and multiple strikes to create a strong contrast between reflective backgrounds and frosted design features.

The Advanced Release label indicates the coin was submitted to NGC for grading before its official public release date.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2022-W Proof American Eagle Silver Coin displays Adolph A. Weinmans Walking Liberty design. Originally introduced in 1916, the image shows Liberty striding toward the rising sun. She is wrapped in the American flag and reaches forward while holding branches, symbolizing freedom and optimism. Inscriptions include LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and 2022.

Reverse

The reverse of the 2022-W Proof Eagle 1 oz Silver Coin features the newer eagle design first introduced in 2021. Designed by Emily Damstra, the artwork shows a bald eagle in flight viewed from below. The eagle holds an oak branch in its talons, representing strength and stability. Inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, ONE DOLLAR, and 1 OZ. FINE SILVER.

History

Michael Gaudioso served as a sculptor and engraver at the United States Mint, where he contributed to several modern American coin designs. With a foundation in classical art training, he brought careful attention to proportion and detail in his work. His signed label offers collectors an added connection to one of the artists involved in todays coinage.
