2017-W Proof Silver Eagle (Box & COA)

The 2017-W Proof Silver Eagle continues the West Point Mint's legacy of producing America's most iconic silver proof coin. With its frosted design elements and mirror-polished fields, this .999 fine silver coin highlights the timeless beauty of the American Silver Eagle series. Issued in the classic U.S. Mint velvet presentation box and accompanied by its official Certificate of Authenticity (COA), the 2017-W is a must-have for collectors seeking continuity and quality.

Historical Insight

The 2017-W Proof Silver Eagle followed the landmark 30th anniversary 2016 edition, which included special edge lettering. In contrast, the 2017 release returned to the standard smooth edge and traditional proof packaging, offering collectors a sense of return to form. With a strong mintage and no special sets tied to it, the 2017-W is appreciated as a stable and accessible installment in the ongoing series.

Collector Note

Perfect for those building a full proof run or filling in the post-anniversary years, the 2017-W offers a blend of availability, beauty, and continuity. Its consistency in design and packaging make it an easy choice for both new and seasoned collectors.
