Certified Proof Silver Eagle 2012-W PR70DCAM PCGS

The Proof Silver Eagle series has slowly gained momentum among collectors and investors over the years. Collectors are realizing that the Proof Silver Eagles contain lower mintages than the Brilliant Uncirculated counterpart. The main difference between a brilliant uncirculated coin and a proof coin is the type of finish applied to the coin. A brilliantly uncirculated coin exhibits a natural sheen with a clean matte finish and the proof coin displays a shiny, "mirrored" finish. This mirrored finish increases the value of a proof coin since it costs more to make. A proof coin is also packaged differently and more officially than the brilliant uncirculated coin, luring in collectors who take pride in the presentation of their personal collections. Lastly, the brilliant uncirculated coins carry a higher mintage than any of the proof coins ever have. For this reason alone, collectors are drawn to Proof Silver Eagles for collection purposes and for long-term investment.

PCGS not only places its certified coins into a sleek official holder but its impeccable grading techniques also keep serious investors coming back.

The US Coat of Arms is presented on the reverse of every silver eagle. The design consists of a shielded eagle, holding an olive branch and arrows tightly in both of its talons. Across its widespread wings, the infamous Latin phrase, "E pluribus unum," is written on a banner. The coin's purity and authenticity are also included with the national seal.
