2022-S Proof Silver Eagle (Box & COA)

The 2022-S Proof Silver Eagle continues the U.S. Mint's modern legacy with a beautifully struck proof coin from the San Francisco Mint. Featuring the updated Type 2 reverse introduced in 2021, this .999 fine silver proof showcases frosted devices against deeply mirrored fields—bringing new life to the classic Walking Liberty obverse and Eagle Landing reverse. With its lower mintage compared to West Point issues, the 2022-S is a collector-favorite and comes housed in its original U.S. Mint velvet presentation box with Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

Historical Insight

The 2022-S Proof Silver Eagle is the second San Francisco–minted proof to feature the Type 2 design. With a relatively low mintage compared to its West Point counterpart, it appeals to collectors who value scarcity, mintmark variety, and continuity within the modern series. This release continued strong demand for the Type 2 aesthetic, especially among collectors who prefer the sharper strikes often associated with San Francisco Mint proofs.

Collector Note

The 2022-S is a key pick for collectors completing multi-mint Type 2 proof runs or tracking low-mintage modern proofs. Its clean strike, lower mintage, and unique "S" mintmark offer both visual and historical value; especially when paired with the 2022-W or earlier Type 1/Type 2 transition-year issues.
