2023-W Proof Silver Eagle (Box & COA)

The 2023-W Proof Silver Eagle is a stunning continuation of the U.S. Mint's most collected modern coin series. Struck at the prestigious West Point Mint, this .999 fine silver proof showcases the enhanced Type 2 design—featuring an updated obverse with Adolph A. Weinman's initials and the modernized Eagle Landing reverse by Emily Damstra. With deeply mirrored fields and frosted reliefs, this coin is a collector favorite and comes housed in the original U.S. Mint velvet box with Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

Historical Insight

The 2023-W Proof Silver Eagle is the third full-year issue featuring the Type 2 design, continuing a new era in the Silver Eagle series. While not tied to a special anniversary, its strong strike quality and moderate mintage of approximately 433,948 make it both accessible and collectible—especially for those building out complete West Point proof runs or post-2021 redesign sets.

Collector Note

The 2023-W pairs seamlessly with the 2023-S and previous Type 2 proofs (2021-2022) for collectors aiming to complete a multi-year display of the modern Eagle Landing design. It remains a core anchor in the annual proof series and an ideal choice for both display and investment.
