2004-W Proof Silver Eagle (Box & COA)

The 2004-W Proof Silver Eagle continues the West Point Mint's tradition of excellence in the American Silver Eagle proof series. Known for its flawless strike, rich frosted devices, and deeply reflective mirrored fields, this issue offers collectors timeless beauty and investment-grade purity. Housed in its original U.S. Mint velvet presentation case with the official Certificate of Authenticity (COA), the 2004-W is a strong addition to any full-date Silver Eagle collection.

Historical Insight

With a mintage of just over 800,000, the 2004-W Proof Silver Eagle reflects the continued popularity of the program during the early 2000s. It was released at a time when both numismatic and bullion interest in silver was growing—adding to its appeal for a broad range of collectors. Though not rare, its consistent strike quality and classic design make it a reliable choice for those completing a West Point proof set.

Collector Note

The 2004-W is often purchased as part of a multi-year run with the 2003-W and 2005-W Proof Eagles. Its solid mintage and visual consistency make it ideal for collectors who value both aesthetic and historical continuity in their American Silver Eagle sets.
