2020-W Proof Silver Eagle V75 Privy (Box & COA)

The 2020-W V75 Proof Silver Eagle is a landmark release honoring the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. Struck at the West Point Mint, this limited-edition proof features a distinctive "V75" privy mark on the obverse-etched in the shape of the Rainbow Pool at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. With a mintage limited to just 75,000 coins, it instantly became one of the most sought-after key dates in the entire Silver Eagle series. Each coin is presented in a custom U.S. Mint velvet box with an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

Historical Insight

The 2020-W V75 Proof Silver Eagle honors the end of World War II, coinciding with other limited releases from the U.S. Mint including a V75 Gold Eagle. With unprecedented demand and one of the lowest mintages in Silver Eagle history, this coin sold out in mere minutes upon release and continues to command significant premiums in both raw and certified condition. It also marks one of the final appearances of Mercanti's reverse before the 2021 Type 2 redesign.

Collector Note

The 2020-W V75 is a modern key date and one of the most desirable Silver Eagles of all time, rivaling the 1995-W and 2019-S Enhanced Reverse Proof in both rarity and historical value. It is a cornerstone piece for collectors focused on low-mintage U.S. Mint moderns, WWII commemoratives, or complete Silver Eagle collections.
