The 2013-W Proof Silver Eagle represents another year of excellence in the West Point Mint's production of America's premier silver proof coin. Featuring stunning frosted design elements over mirror-like fields, the 2013-W maintains the aesthetic and quality standards collectors expect. Issued in its original U.S. Mint velvet box with the official Certificate of Authenticity (COA), this coin stands as both a beautiful collectible and a piece of American minting history.
Historical Insight
The 2013-W was issued alongside a special West Point Two-Coin Set, which included a reverse proof and an enhanced uncirculated Silver Eagle—adding further excitement to the year's offerings. Despite the presence of special-edition sets, the standard 2013-W Proof remains a key part of the core annual proof series, with a mintage similar to other modern proofs of the era.
Collector Note
Collectors building full-date proof sets prize the 2013-W as the official annual release. It's often paired with the reverse proof and enhanced uncirculated companion coins for a complete 2013 West Point set, but it also stands strong on its own due to its visual beauty and traditional format.
