2000-P Proof Silver Eagle (Box & COA)

The 2000-P Proof Silver Eagle marks the final year the Philadelphia Mint struck Proof Silver Eagles before production permanently moved to West Point. As the closing chapter in a five-year run of "P" mintmarked Proof Eagles, this coin carries both historical and transitional significance. Featuring stunning contrast between frosted design elements and deeply mirrored fields, it comes complete with its original U.S. Mint velvet box and Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

Historical Insight

The 2000-P Proof Silver Eagle holds a unique place in the series as the last proof coin to bear the "P" mintmark. In 2001, the U.S. Mint shifted all Proof Silver Eagle production to the West Point Mint, where it remains today. With a healthy mintage of around 600,000, the 2000-P is both accessible and meaningful for collectors. It's often sought after as a "bookend" coin to complete the Philadelphia-minted proof run (1996-2000), giving it enduring collector demand despite its relatively high mintage.

Collector Note

Completing the five-coin Philadelphia Mint Proof set (1996-2000) with the 2000-P adds depth and continuity to any Silver Eagle collection. As the final "P" proof, it also stands as a symbolic transition between two mint eras in the series' history.
